The Humanities Base is the set of first year courses for the
General Education Program at the University of Dayton. Here are the
official goals for the HB:
- Students will begin to develop and formulate their own conception
of what it means to be human.
- Students will understand how the humanities disciplines
ultimately constitute an integrated pursuit of the same goals.
- Faculty and students will form a community of learners through
the examination of selected texts and common themes.
- Students will develop a more critical understanding of Western
culture and will be introduced to the richness of non-Western
civilizations.
- Students will develop general level competencies in reading,
writing, and information literacy in conjunction with the Competency
Program
Rel 198 will pursue all of these goals, and through
class group presentations will contribute also to the the communication
competency goal that is otherwise addressed through specific communication
courses.
