Humanities at Peabody
Peabody's humanities courses serve a vital role in the undergraduate curriculum. Liberal arts and language classes complement the structured musical training of the conservatory, bridging the focused life of musical endeavor and the broader, ever-changing world from which that life draws shape and meaning. The humanities curriculum contributes richly to the undergraduate experience at Peabody. It is essential to Peabody's highest educational goals, uniquely challenging Peabody students to aspire to their highest potential as responsible and productive artists and members of the human community.
A flexible curriculum accommodates the individual needs of our undergraduates, whose backgrounds, skills, interests, and objectives vary greatly. Most students complete a core sequence of humanities courses during their freshman year and select additional courses in subsequent semesters to fulfill their humanities requirement. The program seeks to fit the particular situations of transfers and international students. All Peabody undergraduates are encouraged to fulfill their humanities requirement with courses offered in the School of Arts and Sciences at Johns Hopkins University.
