About the College
With ten academic departments and five interdisciplinary programs, the College of Humanities is the most diverse college at Cal State Northridge. The College comprises disciplines that traditionally make up the study of Humanities — including Philosophy, English, and Modern & Classical Languages — while also housing the oldest and largest Chicana/o Studies Department in the United States and the only Central American and Transborder Studies Department in the country. Also, core to the College is the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies & Liberal Studies which puts CSUN among the top three institutions in California in preparing K-6 educators for the classroom. Among the College's newest programs are minors in Middle Eastern & Islamic Studies, Queer Studies, and Civic & Community Engagement. In all, the College offers students over 40 major, minor and graduate degree paths, with many potential options for specialization.
