The interdisciplinary major in Humanities is one of the many options available to a student who wants to select a major in the School of Humanities. As such, the major in Humanities is on a par with the major in Spanish, the major in Classics, the major in Philosophy, and other majors in the School. The major in Humanities accommodates students who want to organize their undergraduate education around a humanistic perspective on a topic, a field, or a problem which is interdisciplinary in scope (e.g., Literature and Politics in Twentieth-Century America; The Problem of Community; Social and Religious Thought in the Age of the Reformation; Italian Society and Culture). The student enters the program at the end of the sophomore year and, in consultation with the Humanities Major Committee, devises an individually tailored set of "major requirements," not all of which need be offered in the School of Humanities. The Committee will assign an advisor on the basis of the student's own preference, if possible. At the end of the senior year the student will prepare, under the advisor's supervision, a long paper (40-50 pages) in the area of the special major. This requirement is satisfied by taking Humanities 199. A student majoring in Humanities must also meet the regular School, UCI, and University requirements for graduation. Inquiries by third-quarter sophomores should be addressed to the Director of the School's Undergraduate Study Office.

Residence Requirement: At least five upper-division courses in Humanities required for the major must be completed successfully at UCI.

The minor in Humanities and Law is comprised of courses in the School of Humanities that UCI graduates have found to be useful in developing skills that prepare them for law-related careers. One set of courses develops skills in critical reading, writing, and analysis that are necessary in dealing with legal issues. Another set presents theoretical and analytical perspectives on ethical, political, and social issues relevant to the law. A final set focuses on specific legal issues from a humanistic perspective. Lower-division requirements primarily develop foundational skills in the first set, whereas upper-division requirements build on these skills by addressing the concerns from the other sets. The minor does not include how-to courses on particular legal practices.

Requirements for the Minor

Lower-Division: Philosophy 29 or Classics 75; either one of the following four-course combinations: Humanities 1A-B-C (or the Humanities Core substitution) and one course from Philosophy 4, 5, or 9 (if not used for the Humanities Core substitution) or Philosophy 1, 4, and either 5 or 9, plus one course from Philosophy 10, 11, 12, 13, or 9 (if not taken above).

Upper-Division: Six courses from among a list of quarterly approved courses, at least one each from philosophy, history, and literature or classics. Consult the Humanities and Law Web site (http://www.humanities.uci.edu/humlaw) or an academic counselor for currently approved courses.

Students considering a career in law are strongly encouraged to take advantage of other law-related courses offered across the campus and of extracurricular activities such as the Pre-Law Society.

Residence Requirement for the Minor: Four upper-division courses required for the minor must be successfully completed at UCI. Two of the four may be taken through the UC Education Abroad Program, provided course content is approved in advance by the appropriate department chair.

The countries and cultures of Asia are significant participants in the world community. They present compellingly different models for social organization, historical development, and cultural commitments. The many countries of this large and complex region provide challenges and opportunities whether one plans to be a scholar, a business person, or a diplomat. The minor in Asian Studies draws upon the expertise of faculty throughout UCI to create opportunities for students to explore Asian topics in a variety of fields, to develop advanced language skills, and to acquire a broader perspective as they apply the disciplinary training of their major field to effective and informed studies of Asian subjects. The minor is open to all UCI students.

Requirements for the Minor

Students choose one country and language of specialization. At the present the Asian Studies minor focuses on China, Japan, or Korea.

Requirements for the minor are met by taking eight courses (of which no more than four may be lower-division) as specified below.

A.   One course selected from History 170D, 170E, 170F (Premodern East Asia, East Asia 1600-1895, East Asia Since 1895). Students may petition to substitute other History courses that focus on Asia.

B.   Three quarters of course work in one Asian language of specialization beyond the first-year level. Approved courses are

1. Second-, third-or fourth-year language: Chinese 2A-B-C, 3A-B-C, 101A, B, C; Japanese 2A-B-C, 3A-B-C, 101A, B, C; Korean 2A-B-C, 3A-B-C, 101A, B, C; other sequences in Asian languages as available. NOTE: These courses require placement examinations given by the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures. Students who, for example, place out of Chinese 2B would then take Chinese 2C, 3A-B to meet the requirement.

2. Classical Chinese (Chinese 100A-B-C), or Classical Japanese (100A-B) plus a third quarter of Japanese language study.

3. Literature courses taught in the original language: Chinese 115, Japanese 115, Korean 115, or graduate seminars. NOTE: These courses have a prerequisite of completion of the fourth-year language sequence or its equivalent.

1. At least two of these courses must be taken in one (or more) department(s) other than the student's major department.

2. The courses must cover at least two different Asian countries, one of which is the country of language specialization.

3. No more than two of the courses may be lower-division (and only one may be lower-division if any combination of 2A-B-C/3A-B-C is used for the language required above).

NOTE: A maximum overlap of two courses is permitted between this minor and a student's major.

Residence Requirement for the Minor: Four upper-division (or graduate) courses must be successfully completed at UCI. Two of the four may be taken through the UC Education Abroad Program, provided course content is approved in advance by the appropriate department chair.

The concentration in Medieval Studies allows undergraduate students in the Schools of Humanities and the Arts to augment their major by completing a coherent program of courses in the area of medieval studies. The concentration is available to students in any major offered by the Schools and is particularly well-suited to majors in English, Comparative Literature, European Studies, History, Philosophy, and the Arts.

Students in the concentration must complete at least two quarters of Humanities 110, the Core Course in Medieval Studies. These courses are interdisciplinary, examinations of such topics as Medieval Cities, The Dark Ages, Medieval Liturgy and Theater, Medieval Women, and The Plague. In addition, students must complete at least four additional courses in medieval studies selected from an approved quarterly list. One of these four courses may be satisfied by completing a senior essay in some area of medieval studies.

The following set of courses has no necessary relation to the undergraduate interdisciplinary major in Humanities. Most of the courses are open to any UCI student. Humanities 1A-B-C is required for the major in Humanities, as it is a requirement of any student majoring in the School of Humanities. Also, Humanities 199 is required of any undergraduate in the School who is approved to complete an interdisciplinary major in Humanities.

1A-B-C The Humanities Core Course (8-8-8) F, W, S. This course is restricted to students who are beginning their first year of college-level work. Each year it deals with problems of concern to the humanistic disciplines including interdisciplinary perspectives on major themes in history, literature, and philosophy. Focuses on major texts and works of art from a range of different cultural traditions. A writing program is integral to the course and counts for half the grade each quarter. Students are taught to think, speak, and write clearly about the issues raised in the texts and addressed in lectures. Students held for the UC Entry Level Writing requirement will earn an additional two units of workload credit, and must take the course for a letter grade. 1A is prerequisite to 1B, and 1B is prerequisite to 1C. (1A-B-C: I, IV; 1C: VII)

3A, B, C Humanities Interdisciplinary Course. Designed for non-Humanities majors who wish to learn about the nature of humanistic inquiry from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Offered in year-long series united by a theme (e.g., "Inventing the Americas," "Truth and Skepticism"). Each quarter of each series takes a different disciplinary approach (listed below) to the theme. The order of the disciplinary rubrics (A, B, and C) may vary according to the specific theme. Students must take one each of A, B, and C to complete the series. Additionally, they are strongly encouraged to complete the series within one thematic offering, and ideally in the order in which the rubrics are offered for that theme. Humanities 3A, 3B, 3C and Humanities H3A, H3B, H3C may not both be taken for credit. Not offered 2008-09.

3A Representation, Verbal and Visual (4). Explores the various devices that texts and images employ manipulating their own internal structures and making reference to things outside themselves to form or reshape meaning in the world.

3B Confronting the Past (4). Concerns itself with the various techniques that scholars have developed to retrieve events and ways of life from the past, as well as the problems encountered evaluating those reconstructions and their implications for the present.

An emphasis in Critical Theory, under the supervision of the Committee on Critical Theory, is available for doctoral students in all departments at UCI upon approval of the student's faculty advisor or associate dean in accordance with departmental policy. Ph.D. students may, with Committee approval, complete the emphasis in addition to the degree requirements of their graduate program. Although there is no change in the existing Ph.D. program requirements or procedures, if the student wishes to have a letter (signed by the Dean and by the Director of Critical Theory) testifying that the student has satisfactorily added this theoretical dimension to the graduate program, then additional requirements must be met. Critical theory at UCI is understood in the broad sense as the study of the shared assumptions, problems, and commitments of the various discourses in the humanities. The faculty regards critical theory not as an adjunct to the study of one of the traditional humanistic disciplines but as a necessary context for the study of any humanistic discipline.

Admission to the emphasis may be granted by the Critical Theory Committee in response to the student's petition. The petition normally is submitted by the middle of the second year of graduate study, after completion of the Critical Theory Workshop, and upon the recommendation of the Workshop's instructor or a faculty representative of the student's department.

Requirements: (1) a three-quarter Critical Theory Workshop, conducted preferably by a team of instructors, conceived as a reading group, and developed with the input of all participants, where significant texts are discussed and analyzed in class. No term papers are required, and the course is graded Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory only. Students receive credit for this course only in the spring quarter. For the first two quarters, the course is 0 units with IP grading; (2) three Humanities 270 courses offered under the supervision of the Committee. At least three such courses will be offered each quarter; (3) participation in two mini-seminars (six-eight hours) offered by visiting scholars (and sponsored by the Committee) on the visiting scholar's ongoing research; and (4) a dissertation that reflects the students' preparation in critical theory; alternatively, a research paper written under the guidance of one or more of the Emphasis faculty and submitted to the Director.
