following spring semester and in May for the

The Minor
The Humanities Interdisciplinary Minor
surveys relationships among philosophy,
literature, music, architecture, sculpture, and
painting. It also makes some use of science,
popular culture, contemporary events, and
whatever else is relevant that may come to
hand in order to explore as richly as possible
the interrelationships among arts and ideas.
And it does so for entire cultures, subdivided,
of course, into their major periods.

College of Arts and Humanities
Honors Program
The College of Arts and Humanities Honors
Program is designed to provide the opportunity
for advanced interdisciplinary studies for up-per-
division students with outstanding schol-arly
and creative achievements. The program
also provides interaction with a community
of intellectual peers in arts and humanities
and related disciplines. The program consists
of a three-course commitment (10-12 units),
beginning with the 3-unit Honors Seminar
(Arts and Humanities 100H) taken in the
second semester of the junior year. Each par-ticipating
department will then provide courses
or an independent study option for honors
students for the subsequent two semesters of
the senior year, culminating in the student’s
completion of a research/creative project.
A one-unit Honors Colloquium (Arts and
Humanities 101H) will serve as a culmination
experience for students to present and discuss
their research/creative projects. This program
will encourage students to cross traditional
disciplinary boundaries through discussion
with faculty and fellow students in different
departments and to work closely with faculty
toward the completion of a research or creative
project of the student’s choice.
Application Criteria. Students with a 3.5
cumulative GPA in the last 60 units are
eligible to apply. Application for the Honors
Program includes the following: a current
copy of transcript, a written personal state-ment,
a substantial sample of the student’s
writing and/or creative work, and a letter
of recommendation/nomination from a
Fresno State faculty member willing to
serve as mentor/adviser to the student for
