HPSS Concentration

History, Philosophy, and the Social Sciences (HPSS) is an interdisciplinary department where faculty teach and conduct research in a range of fields across the humanities and social sciences. All HPSS courses emphasize critical thinking and the development of writing and research skills.  

If you wish to complement your studio major with in-depth study in a field supported by the department's curriculum, you may elect an HPSS concentration. Open to all bachelor’s degree candidates, the concentration can be completed as part of a typical four- or five-year degree program. This course of study lets you fully explore HPSS offerings while fulfilling Liberal Arts requirements in a way that is most meaningful to you.
