History of Ideas Minor

The History of Ideas program provides an opportunity to explore some of the most influential works in world history. Students will engage in the “close reading” of primary source texts from antiquity to the present with a focus on ideas central to religion, philosophy, art, literature and the social sciences. Small class sizes and a student-centered pedagogy encourage lively discussion and the development  of critical thinking and writing skills.
