Humanities, History, and Social Sciences

The Humanities, History, and Social Sciences Department is an essential part of Columbia’s Core Curriculum, offering you hundreds of challenging and inspiring classes each semester.

You'll fulfill many of your Core requirements by taking classes in our department, but you can also further explore your interests in the humanities by selecting one of six minors (Black World Studies; Cultural Studies; Education; Latino and Latin American Studies; Philosophy and Religon and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies), by conducting research with a favorite professor through the Undergraduate Mentorship Research Initiative, or by taking one of our many language courses.
