<p>Have you guys seen the new Humanities and Arts requirement starting with '11? It seems as if they are dropping the Sufficiency and there will be only 2 projects now, the MQP and the IQP. Here's the info that I got, from the 07-08 Undergrad Catalog:
Effective with the class entering in the fall of 2007 the
requirements in the Humanities and Arts have changed.
The set of requirements previously referred to as the
“Sufficiency” has been modified, and this new set of requirements
will no longer be referred to as the Sufficiency.
Students entering prior to A term of 2007 may elect to follow
either the previous (“Sufficiency”) or new Humanities
and Arts Requirements. Students entering for A term,
2007 or later must follow the new requirements.</p>
<p>Students fulfill the humanities and arts degree requirement
by completing two units of work consisting of six
student-selected courses. In selecting these courses, students
complete breadth and depth components of the requirement.
To ensure breadth, students select at least one
course each from two of three different intellectual clusters.
To ensure depth, students complete one unit of thematically-
related work which must include at least one
course at the 2000-level or above and culminate in an inquiry
seminar or practicum (HU3900 or equivalent). Students
may take six courses in a foreign language as an
exception to the breadth component, but their sequence of
foreign language courses must culminate in a seminar or
practicum. At the end of the seminar or practicum, every
student will submit documentation to certify completion
of the requirement.</p>
<p>To ensure intellectual breadth, students must select at
least one course from at least two of the following three
intellectual clusters:
• art/art history, drama/theatre, and music (AR, MU,
TH);
• languages, literature, and writing/rhetoric (EN, WR,
RH, SP, GN);
• history, philosophy and religion (HI, HU, PY, RE).</p>
<p>To ensure depth, students complete at least one unit
(three courses) in a focused thematic area that includes
and culminates with an inquiry seminar or practicum. At
least one of the two thematically-related courses that precede
the seminar or practicum must be at the 2000-level or
above.</p>
