The range of time and texts we cover is enormous. Two Dartmouth quarters allow barely enough time. Hence the sequence.
Humanities 1 and 2 fulfill the First-Year Seminar requirement—but only after completion of Humanities 2.
No, you may leave after Humanities 1, receiving credit for one course, as well as the General Education requirements met by the course. But no one may enroll in the second term without completing the first, except by permission of the Director.
Each course fulfills the Literature Distributive, as well as the Western category of the World Culture Requirement.
The Humanities 1 and 2 professors will host an Open House in 206 Dartmouth Hall at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, September 17, 2009. The reception is for all First-Year Students interested in the course, and is a good time to come and ask questions. The first class of Humanities 1 will meet on Wednesday, September 23, 2009. Humanities 1 and 2 are both scheduled at the 12 hour.
