Historical Background
The Division of Humanities at the University of California, Irvine was founded in 1965 with Departments of English, Foreign
Languages and Literatures, History, and Philosophy. The name changed to the School of Humanities in 1968. Over time new departments
were formed and new majors added.
As of 2007 the School included 12 departments and nearly 30 majors and interdisciplinary programs. The School strives to offer
a diverse curriculum to help students develop an understanding of global cultures. Students can choose majors and minors in
African American studies, art history, Asian American studies, East Asian languages and literatures, classics, comparative
literature, English, European studies, film and media studies, French, German, global cultures, history, humanities and arts,
humanities and law, Italian studies, Latin American studies, literary journalism, philosophy, Portuguese, queer studies, religious
studies, Russian studies, Spanish, visual studies (graduate only) and women's studies. Courses in 16 languages are offered.
The School of Humanities also sponsors a number of special programs. Humanities Out There (HOT) offers workshops for intermediate
and high school students. The California History-Social Science Project works with high school teachers to improve and innovate
history curricula. The Humanities Internship Program employs humanities undergraduates in businesses and nonprofit organizations
in Orange County, California.
