Humanities Launch Unified Study
Another change in the humani
ties curriculum? Yes. Through
out S.C.C’s short history there
have been changes in the humani
ties offerings each year. We
began by requiring each college
transfer student to complete four
two-hour humanities courses.
These two-hour courses In art,
literature, music, and philosophy
proved to be inadequate. The
second year these courses were
lengthened to three hours and
only required the student to
complete three of the four
courses. This year, three five
hour courses will combine the
subjects of art, literature, music,
and philosophy.
Sophomores who have beg:un
their humanities requirements
under the previous program
should not register for the new
unified humanities sequence.
They should enroll in either Art
201, EngUsh 201, Music 105, or
Philosophy 201. This enables
them to complete three courses
in either art, music, literature,
or philosophy. The new course
is open only to sophomores who
have completed freshman Eng
lish and Western Civilization with
a grade of C or better and have
not been enrolled previously in
Art 201, Music 105, or Phllo-
soph/ 201. If a student has
had one of these courses, he
must continue in the sequence.
If the students have questions
regarding their humanities re
quirements, they should seek the
advice of their advisor.
Faculty members teaching the
new humanities courses are: Mr.
Erwin, literature; Mr. Hodgens,
philosophy; Mrs. Proctor, art;
and Mr. Zeller, music.
