Program Overview

In 1937 the School of Letters was organized in the Dodge Family College of Arts and Sciences to “provide guidance and systematic programs of instruction for students whose chief interest lies in the fields of ancient and modern language and literature, and closely allied subjects.”

Today the letters program offers students a carefully supervised and coordinated curriculum in the humanities leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts in letters.

The program’s original purpose was to instill a deeper appreciation of the major movements of Western civilization. By studying the important and characteristic achievements of the human mind from Greco-Roman antiquity to the modern era, students come to understand and appreciate the ideas and principles that form the basis of their own culture. This purpose has been expanded to include the study of other, non-western civilizations and cultures.

The letters degree is interdisciplinary, and the curriculum is flexible enough to accommodate most students' interests. Majors take courses in the areas of:

    History (History and the History of Science)
    Literature (Classics, English, Modern Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics)
    Philosophy (Philosophy, Political Science and Religious Studies)

In addition, the major requires students to take supporting courses in an ancient language, a modern language, and the appreciation of the fine arts. The program is based upon the assumption that cultivated intelligence, good judgment, and artistic expression in speech and writing are desirable in and for themselves.
