Historical Background

The Division of Humanities at the University of California, Irvine was founded in 1965 with Departments of English, Foreign Languages and Literatures, History, and Philosophy. The name changed to the School of Humanities in 1968. Over time new departments were formed and new majors added.

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 African American studies, art history, Asian American studies, East Asian languages and literatures, classics, comparative 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 studies, Russian studies, Spanish, visual studies (graduate only) and women's studies. Courses in 16 languages are offered.

The School of Humanities also sponsors a number of special programs. Humanities Out There (HOT) offers workshops for intermediate and high school students. The California History-Social Science Project works with high school teachers to improve and innovate history curricula. The Humanities Internship Program employs humanities undergraduates in businesses and nonprofit organizations in Orange County, California.
