Introduction The University of Chicago is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. In keeping with its long-standing traditions and policies, the University of Chicago considers students, employees, applicants for admission or employment, and those seeking access to programs on the basis of individual merit. The University, therefore, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national or ethnic origin, age, disability, veteran status, or other protected classes under the law. The University official responsible for coordinating compliance with the University of Chicago nondiscrimination policy is Aneesah Ali, Associate Provost, Affirmative Action Officer, and Title IX Coordinator.

General education requirements, which are described below, consist of integrated, often interdisciplinary, sequences. They cannot be replaced by other courses (except in the sciences as indicated below) and they should be completed by the end of the second year. Please note that substitutes for general education courses are rarely approved (1) to accommodate a second major or a minor or (2) to avoid curricular and scheduling conflicts that result from postponing general education requirements until a student’s third or fourth year. Majors are described in detail in the Programs of Study (p. 48) section of the catalog. Electives provide scope to a student’s work in the College. Students choose electives to pursue interests, wherever they fall in the College catalog, that are not covered by their general education sequences or their major. Depending on other choices, electives comprise about one-third of the degree program. Students choose courses across the curriculum in consultation with College advisers and faculty counselors. Credit for forty-two quarter courses is required for the undergraduate degree. Students may count each quarter course only once in the degree program of forty-two courses. General Education Humanities, Civilization Studies, and the Arts (6 quarters) An essential component of general education is learning how to appreciate and analyze texts intellectually, historically, and aesthetically. Through this general education requirement, students at Chicago learn how to interpret literary, philosophical, and historical texts in depth; how to identify significant intellectual problems posed by those texts; and how to discuss and write about them perceptively and persuasively. They also learn how to study a visual or performing art form. Finally, students learn how to study texts and art forms within a specific cultural and chronological frame. Students may choose from many options to meet these requirements. Students take a total of six quarters in humanities and civilization studies, selecting one of the following three options. The letters in parentheses refer to the sections below. 1. A three-quarter humanities sequence (A); a two-quarter civilization studies sequence (C); and one course in the dramatic, musical, and visual arts (B). 2. A three-quarter civilization studies sequence (C); a two-quarter humanities sequence (A); and one course in the dramatic, musical, and visual arts (B). 3. A two-quarter humanities sequence (A); a two-quarter civilization studies sequence (C); and two quarter courses in the dramatic, musical, and visual arts (B). The College 7 A. Interpretation of Historical, Literary, and Philosophical Texts All humanities courses that meet general education requirements engage students in the pleasure and challenge of humanistic works through the close reading of a broad range of literary, historical, and philosophical texts. These are not survey courses; rather, they work to establish methods for appreciating and analyzing the meaning and power of exemplary texts. In combination with these courses, students take HUMA 19100 Humanities Writing Seminars that introduce the analysis and practice of expert academic writing. The humanities sequences give students the opportunity to focus on a range of issues and texts. All HUMA 10000-level sequences that meet general education requirements are available as either a two-quarter sequence (Autumn, Winter) or as a three-quarter sequence (Autumn, Winter, Spring). Once students begin a sequence, they are expected to remain in the same sequence. A three-quarter sequence in humanities is recommended for students who are preparing for medical school or for law school. Students who are unable to complete a three-quarter sequence in their first year should plan to take a writing-intensive English course when their schedule allows. This English course, however, cannot be applied to the general education humanities requirement. NOTE: Students registered in any of the sequences below must attend the first and second class sessions or their registration will be dropped. HUMA Readings in World Literature I 300 11000-11100-11200 and Readings in World Literature II and Readings in World Literature III HUMA Philosophical Perspectives I 300 11500-11600-11700 and Philosophical Perspectives II and Philosophical Perspectives III HUMA Greek Thought and Literature I 300 12000-12100-12200 and Greek Thought and Literature II and Greek Thought and Literature III HUMA Human Being and Citizen I 300 12300-12400-12500 and Human Being and Citizen II and Human Being and Citizen III HUMA Introduction to the Humanities I 300 13500-13600-13700 and Introduction to the Humanities II and Introduction to the Humanities III HUMA Reading Cultures: Collection, Travel, Exchange I 300 14000-14100-14200 and Reading Cultures: Collection, Travel, Exchange II and Reading Cultures: Collection, Travel, Exchange III HUMA Media Aesthetics: Image, Text, Sound I 300 16000-16100-16200 and Media Aesthetics: Image, Text, Sound II and Media Aesthetics: Image, Text, Sound III HUMA Language and the Human I 300 17000-17100-17200 and Language and the Human II and Language and the Human III 8 The Curriculum B. Dramatic, Musical, and Visual Arts These courses provide an introduction to methods for analyzing, comprehending, and appreciating works of dramatic, musical, or visual art by examining their formal vocabularies and how these vocabularies are used to create meaning. This objective is met either by the intensive study of selected masterpieces or by producing original works of art, drama, music, or performance. The courses below are not specialized introductions to one single field or creative practice, but instead are expressly designed to broadly investigate the arts through study and practice. For that reason, only the courses on the list below can be used to satisfy the general education requirement in the dramatic, musical, or visual arts. NOTE: Substitutes will not be approved. Students with expertise in one particular area of the arts should pursue course work in a different area. ARTH 10100 Introduction to Art 100 ARTH 14000 through 16999. Art Surveys ARTH 17000 through 18999.

Text and Performance TAPS 28400 History and Theory of Drama I 100 TAPS 28401 History and Theory of Drama II 100 C. Civilization Studies Each sequence provides an in-depth examination of the development and accomplishments of one of the world’s great civilizations through direct encounters with some of its most significant documents and monuments. Students who have completed (or plan to complete) three quarters of a humanities sequence and one quarter of the dramatic, musical, or visual arts and therefore need only two quarters of civilization studies, may take any of the three-quarter sequences as a two-quarter sequence. NOTE: Not all of the sequences that follow are offered every year; consult departmental course listings.
