Our Humanities Degree Program at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia, takes a unique approach to your education. The Humanities program is an interdisciplinary program made up of classes in four separate programs:
- Classical Culture
- Classical Languages
- Philosophy
- Religious Studies
The goal of the Humanities major is to help students deepen their understanding of themselves and the culture, by exploring the ways human beings find meaning to their life. We explore these ways be studying both our own individual insights and the artistic, philosophical and religious works that have shaped human experience.
- Find out which of our academic programs is right for you.
- Meet some of our current students and hear about their favorite Marshall moments.

The Humanities Degree Program is unique in two ways: students may choose course work equivalent to a major in a single department or create a broader curriculum of their choice from various humanities courses. And our program also has a strong interdisciplinary side, which allows our students to learn from many great minds in different areas.
When you major in Humanities you can study in three different programs including Classics, Philosophy, and Religious Studies.
Our faculty members are at the cutting edge of their various specialties, doing adventurous research, and being in contact with a variety of leading philosophers. This creates an exciting environment for you, and unusual opportunities to make contacts and enter graduate school. Our graduates have gone on to graduate study at nationally respected schools, in philosophy, English, Law, Divinity, and Art History.
