Honors in the Humanities

Honors in the Humanities (HTH) was established over 30 years ago, and is the oldest honors program at Queens College. The program is designed for students who wish to gain an understanding of the origins and history of our contemporary artistic and intellectual culture. The full sequence of eight courses is interdisciplinary in design and covers a broad range of fundamental works of literature, religion, history, philosophy, and art, and complements majors in any division of the college. Students need to complete six out of the eight courses to complete the minor. The Leo J. Walsh Memorial Prize is awarded annually to an outstanding HTH senior.
