Updated HASS Requirements
See list of Spring 2022 courses HERE
All Mines students must complete a 19-credit-hour curriculum in the Humanities and Social Sciences, ranging from freshman through senior levels of coursework. Most of these courses are offered by the Department of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS) and by the Department of Economics and Business (EB), but the Department of Engineering, Design & Society also offers courses that meet these requirements.
Welcome
Few important engineering decisions are purely technical. In our globally interconnected world, professionals must be able to integrate social, cultural, political, economic, ethical and environmental knowledge into their decisions and designs.
Academic work in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences provides you with an understanding of these contexts, enhances your abilities to communicate well, gives you the foundations to transcend traditional technical boundaries, establishes your competitive edge in the professional marketplace and prepares you to be a leader and a lifelong learner.
HASS faculty are recognized nationally and around the world as scholars and teachers who expect high levels of academic performance from their students. Their expertise includes:
Creative writing
Energy policy
Environmental policy
Ethics
Film and media studies
Geography
Literature
Music
Philosophy
Political science
Science, technology and engineering
