Methods in the Humanities
The method courses - some mandatory, some elective - provide you with the essential methodological skills for your Humanities study.
For cohort that started in Fall 2024 and after
- For all Humanities majors, the level 1 course UCACCMET13 Rhetoric is mandatory.
- At level 2, see the options below.
Broadening of methodology offering for (Interdomain) Humanities majors
In Fall 2024, more courses became options for the HUM methodology requirement while also remaining accessible to all other students. If you’ve already taken any of the courses below in past years, they were added to your methodology requirement retrospectively.
