Humanities Concentrations in the Hallmarks Core

Humanities Concentrations in the Hallmarks Core

The Hallmarks Core adds value to your professional education with the opportunity to earn humanities concentrations as you complete the requirements for general education. Completing a concentration is optional, but it doesn’t require taking any additional courses beyond the standard Hallmarks Core requirements.

You can declare a Humanities Concentration by submitting the Declare/Change a Concentration form to the registrar’s office. This can be done before completing the requirements or retroactively, after you’ve taken 3 of the required courses.

When you complete 3 or more courses in your chosen sequence, your transcript will display your Concentration in Health Humanities, Design Humanities, or Environmental Humanities.
