The study will lead you to discover the nature of humankind, the values held by those living during a particular historical period and how they relate to the circumstances of the modern world. You will learn to look at the concerns of other cultures and to reassess your own values. You may later specialize in any of the fine arts, literature, and philosophy or in the history of the arts of a particular period or country.
