Humanities

The Humanities division offers undergraduates a rich liberal arts education, with options for a B.A or B.S. degree in Communication Arts and a B.A. degree in English, Creative Writing, or English: Secondary Education.  We also cooperate with other divisions to offer a B.A. or B.S. in Business and Communication Arts or an individualized Interdisciplinary degree plan. Students who seek a two-year degree can earn an A.A. in Liberal Arts or Liberal Arts: Humanities through our division and students in any major may enhance their degree with a minor in Art, Communication, Creative Writing, English, Music, Native American Studies, Nez Perce Language, Publishing Arts, and Spanish. Students who live in the Coeur d’Alene area can complete a B.A./B.S. degree in Communication Arts or Interdisciplinary Studies at the LCSC Coeur d’Alene Center.  Students in Humanities programs and courses get a rich exposure to both theoretical and practical knowledge, preparing them for professional success as well as further education.  Humanities students have many opportunities to offer what they learn in the classroom to the public:  through student music and theater performances, video productions, Talking River (our literary journal), internships in the schools, peer consulting in the Writing Center and Communication Center, speech and debate competitions, art showings, and open Mic events held in a popular local pub.  

The Visiting Writers Series, the annual Stegner lecture, instrumental and choral music concerts, theater productions, and film festivals are  just some of the ways in which the Humanities division brings the arts to the LCSC campus and community.  The Humanities division also provides leadership for Writing Across the Curriculum, and is deeply engaged in delivering General Education Core courses, as well as foreign and heritage language courses, professional preparation courses, and developmental courses, all of which help students achieve their educational and professional objectives.  Humanities faculty invigorate their teaching and service with their scholarly and creative endeavors, often in collaborative partnerships with students.

We welcome inquiries about our programs, courses, and activities.  Stop by Room 111A, Spalding Hall, or contact us at 208-792-2307, or e-mail the Humanities Chair at ogoode@lcsc.edu.  We look forward to hearing from you.
