人文、B.A.

The Shimer School Humanities Major introduces students to various modes of critical reflection on and methodical investigation of human expression and thought.  经典和主要的当代视觉和音乐艺术作品, 文学, 哲学, 神学 and related fields form the c矿石 of the Humanities sequence of courses in this major.  学生 come to know and understand these texts and works of art partly through individual reflection, but also in small-class discussions with their peers and in intensive writing, peer-editing and re-writing of essays and in creative work guided by course materials.  Each course involves integrating insights into two or three distinct fields in the Humanities, 虽然每个都遵循一个重点, 跨学科主题, pushing students to devise increasingly broad yet nuanced accounts of the nature of humanistic inquiry and practice.

Breadth and depth of knowledge and skills characterize graduates of the Shimer School.  Through the c矿石 curriculum of the Shimer School they immerse themselves in major classic and contemporary works of human expression, 社会思想和科学知识与实践.  Their broad familiarity with fundamental ideas and methods across the Liberal Arts provides the foundation on which they build increasingly refined understanding and skills in m矿石 specialized courses in chosen disciplines taught across 中北书院.  Shimer School graduates thus find meaningful employment in an unusually broad array of fields, 包括教学, 社会工作, 法律, small business and entrepreneurial enterprise and non-profit administration among the most common.
