Arts, Culture and MediaAs a broad and diverse collection of disciplines, the Humanities examine how we construct our aesthetic, intellectual, emotional, ethical, social, and political worlds, and they look comparatively at the differences in such constructions in different times and places, and for different people. The Humanities thus study human culture in all of its rich diversity while also seeking to understand the ways in which humans are interconnected. As an approach to knowledge, the Humanities rely on analytic, critical, inductive, interpretive and evaluative methods of inquiry that are markedly distinct from the empirical methods of the natural and social sciences. By focusing on the subjective constructions of the world around us as forms of identity and human expressions, study in the Humanities helps us better understand what it means to be human. The Department of Arts, Culture and Media has changed its HUM nomenclature to ACM. Consult the table below for course equivalencies.
