(SUS). Besides UCF, the system includes (from W to E, N to S): University of West

University, Tallahassee; University of North Florida, Jacksonville; University of Florida,
Gainesville; University of South Florida, Tampa; Florida Gulf Coast University, Ft.

Programs: Of the 10 institutions other than UCF, six have identifiable Humanities
divisions, departments or programs. They are ranked below in order of humanities
or humanities related courses and institutional designation.
1. Florida State University offers the most extensive humanities program in
the state with majors and minors in humanities and degree programs at the
Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral levels. The Masters programs include an
Interdepartmental program, a Junior College Instructor certificate program, and a
program in humanities and the arts. The Doctoral program is described as "a
broad program combining offerings from the participating departments of Art
History; Classical Languages, Literature, and Civilization; Communication;
Dance History; English; History; Modern Languages and Linguistics; Philosophy;
Religion; and the schools of Music History and Theatre History.
2. University of South Florida offers a Bachelors of Arts in Humanities as
well as a humanities minor. It also offers a Masters of Liberal Arts program
with concentration in the Humanities as well as concentrations in Africana
and Liberal Studies.

Liberal Studies, Art History and Religious Studies.
4. Florida A & M University has a Department of Visual Arts, Humanities and
Theatre and offers programs in philosophy, religion, theatre and "academic
humanities" which lead to either Bachelors of Science or Bachelors of Arts
degrees. The website offers little detail on these degrees.
5. University of West Florida has a Humanities Department which appears to
be an umbrella department covering communication arts, English, languages,
history, philosophy, religious studies and "interdisciplinary humanities." Students
who major in the last program choose courses from three disciplines listed above
in addition to anthropology, art, Environmental Humanities and Theatre. It
also has a Masters of Arts in Humanities using the same interdisciplinary format.
There is a certificate program in Ethics as well.
6. New College, Sarasota, has no "humanities" major per se nor does the
catalogue list courses with an HUM prefix. Rather, it has a division called
Humanities which includes "areas of concentration" in art history, literature,
classics, languages, music, philosophy, religion and visual arts. Each area
of concentration requires four levels of coursework including: 1. historical study
of the discipline, 2. theoretical study of the discipline, 3. critical analysis of the
subject matter, and 4. creative work within the discipline. All students are
required to write and defend senior theses.
7. Florida Atlantic University offers an interdisciplinary program in Arts and
Humanities in the College of Arts and Letters but offers only two HUM prefix
courses.
8. University of Florida has no humanities program though its history site
mentions a coming "humanities center." Its undergraduate humanities general
education requirement is listed as being met by a wide array of courses ranging
from African-American Studies to languages to Philosophy to Women's Studies
and even Engineering courses. UF has vibrant philosophy, religious studies and
classics departments complete with graduate level degree programs.
9. University of North Florida has no humanities department though it has
a HUM 2210 Western Humanities single course offering. Undergraduate
general education humanities requirements are met by taking a course from
three categories of classes: European History, Philosophy and Non-Applied
Fine Arts.
10. Florida Gulf Coast University has no humanities department or program.
Course descriptions show one course with an HUM prefix which is described
as "Understanding Visual, Performing Arts."
