As of 2007 the School included 12 departments and nearly 30 majors and interdisciplinary programs. The School strives to offer
a diverse curriculum to help students develop an understanding of global cultures. Students can choose majors and minors in

literature, English, European studies, film and media studies, French, German, global cultures, history, humanities and arts,
humanities and law, Italian studies, Latin American studies, literary journalism, philosophy, Portuguese, queer studies, religious

The School of Humanities also sponsors a number of special programs. Humanities Out There (HOT) offers workshops for intermediate
