School of Humanities
   
Each student who attends Lindenwood University takes coursework within the School of Humanities and many choose to select a major from among the following undergraduate degree areas:

English: All undergraduate students must complete a minimum of six hours each of composition and literature. Majors are offered in English with an emphasis in either literature or creative writing. A dual emphasis can be requested but will require completion of requirements for both emphases. In addition, minors are available in creative writing and English literature. A student may also choose to complete a Writing Certificate.

Foreign Languages: Lindenwood students are encouraged to study a foreign language either as a major or a minor or for cross-cultural or elective credit. Students in these courses study the language, culture, and literature of countries that have Spanish, German, French, or Mandarin Chinese as their first languages.

History and Geography: All undergraduate students must complete a minimum of three hours of world history and another three hours of either American history or government. Additionally, students may choose to major in history which requires coursework in American history, European history, world history, American government, and economics, Political Science.

International Studies: All university students are encouraged to take a variety of courses via their major, in general education, or as free electives. In many instances, International Studies can help students satisfy general education requirements and provide students the needed global focus to operate in the increasingly interconnected world.

Philosophy and Religion: All undergraduate students are required to complete one religion or philosophy course. In addition, majors and minors are offered in both religion and philosophy.

A Masters of Arts in Teaching with an Emphasis in History allows teachers to take coursework within both the School of Education and School of Humanities. These courses will be offered during the summer and evenings.

Integral components of each class within the School of Humanities include critical thinking as well as interpretation, application, and extension of ideas. The goal of the School of Humanities is to acquaint all Lindenwood students with the historical context and current applications of English, history, religion, philosophy, political science and public administration, international studies, and modern languages. The faculty strives to make subject matter clear though a variety of educational strategies and works to motivate students to greater appreciation of the great artists and thinkers of the past as well as the present.
