German (BA), English Literature (BA), Motion Picture Studies (BA), Philosophy (BA), Professional Writing (BA), Religion (BA), Spanish (BA), Communications (BS), and Theatre Arts (BA). Students can combine any two as long as they are NOT in the same department.

- Two special 27-hour majors specifically for Humanities students (for a total of 54 hours)
