CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
The distinguishing feature of all humanities subject area courses is their multidisciplinary nature. The courses are designed to instruct the student in the various characteristic viewpoints regarding the human condition from the perspective of disciplines such as art, classics, history, languages, literature, music, philosophy, religious studies and theater.
The Humanities program at College of DuPage serves as an essential support area for all students at the college by providing a better understanding of people's expressions, ideas and cultures. The courses can be used to meet part of the Humanities/Arts and International Studies General Education requirement for an associate's degree, provide a foundation for students intending to transfer to a baccalaureate-granting institution, or meet the needs of students planning to enter all career fields. Students intending to pursue a career in the arts, government, law, business, journalism, teaching or human services will find the courses particularly useful.
Transfer-oriented, occupational-vocational and general interest students should consider these humanities courses: Introduction to Humanities: The Arts (1101) explores people's creativity as expressed in music, literature, and the visual and performing arts; Introduction to Humanities: Ideas and Values (1102) explores the nature of humans as reflected in the disciplines of philosophy, history, literature and religious studies; Non-Western Humanities (1105) focuses on the cultures of Asia, Africa and Pre-Columbian Americas; The Arts and Cultural Diversity (1110) explores the contributions of various social and ethnic groups to U.S. culture. Leadership Development (2210) assists students in developing essential leadership skills. These courses are offered in a variety of delivery formats, and students may choose the option that best suite their needs.
