Humanities & Liberal Studies Chair: Dr. Travis Curtright, Professor of Humanities and Literature The Humanities & Liberal Studies Program’s reading list is inspired by the Great Books. The major offers its students a broad liberal arts education through a comprehensive study of the Western intellectual tradition as presented in philosophy, literature, theology, history and, to some extent, in the experimental sciences and mathematics. Under optimum circumstances, classes are conducted as seminars with a maximum enrollment of twenty students. This interdisciplinary major allows Ave Maria University to offer its students the opportunity to be nourished in a truly integrated curriculum, as with Great Books colleges and programs elsewhere. The Major in Humanities & Liberal Studies is a properly Catholic discipline for a Catholic University.
