Certificate in Humanities and Humanistic Studies – Prism Paterson
Degree Type
Technical Certificate of Credit
“Prism Paterson: Texts and Contexts” is a Certificate in the Humanities and Humanistic Studies, which is a program that focuses on combined studies and research in the humanities subjects as distinguished from the social and physical sciences, and emphasizes languages, literatures, art, and music.
Often students study the humanities only by looking at the arts from the distant past, created in distant places, but Paterson itself has many significant writers, poets, artists, and musicians inspired by the City. “Prism Paterson” offers students the experience of visiting historic and artistic sites in Paterson and meeting some of Paterson’s important artists, musicians, poets, and writers while studying their widely acclaimed works and discovering the complexity, relevance, and richness of the humanities and arts in Paterson.
Students complete 12 credits from the program in order to achieve a Certificate in diverse but interconnecting humanities courses. The Certificate provides students coursework that can be applied to, or is transferable towards, an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree at Felician or other institution.
