Honors Humanities Project (H2P)

• Three-semester sequence of courses taken in sequential order through the student’s first two years of study
• In-depth focus on one master work for each culture—monument, poem, building, song, city, film, or sculpture
• Investigation of philosophical, artistic, literary, and political ideas that elucidate a master work’s significance within its culture
• Two lectures per week, plus small discussion group meeting (drill), where active discussion in drill is expected
• Substantial reading and writing: Scholarly articles (not anthologies) that analyze various cultural phenomena, and texts written by people living in the various societies: epics, personal letters, political propaganda, religious works, satires
