Humanities, Interdisciplinary
This program may be started at any campus and is completed at Penn State Harrisburg or Schuylkill.

This major helps students appreciate, understand, and interpret relationships among the arts, ideas, media, and values that have shaped Western and world cultures. Students are expected to be active learners who can synthesize, interpret, and communicate knowledge and experience through writing, speaking, and creative expression in a variety of media. The program helps students meet these goals by offering a range of interdisciplinary and discipline-based courses in the arts, art history, communication studies, English, history, literature, music, philosophy, theatre, and writing.

The B.HUM. degree in Interdisciplinary Humanities is offered by the Penn State's Capital College .
