Every year,
FreshMen take
Hum1 in their first semester and
Hum2 in their second semester as part of the HarveyMudd
? CoreCurriculum
? (although the
HumDepartment is seriously considering the elimination of
Hum2 in the near future). As with
Hum1, there are several different sections of
Hum2, each focusing on different subjects; however, the subjects are much more varied than
Hum1 and the selection is generally considered better. In most cases, one's
Hum2 professor becomes their
HumDepartment Advisor.
After 2006, Hum2 has been abolished by the HumDepartment as part of their new curriculum.
Also the prerequisite for BabyStems.
For 2005-2006, the course offerings are:
- Women, Culture, Words (ProfessorDeLaet)
- Reading Between the Lines: Representations of Economy and Society in Literature for Young Children (ProfessorSullivan?)
- Science and Engineering from an 'Other' Perspective (ProfessorOlson)
- Classics of Economic Thought (ProfessorEvans)

- Life after Death/ Life before Death: Aztec, Christian, and Islamic Views of Eschatology (ProfessorTirres?)
