Fourteen faculty members participated in this process. Each of the four areas in Humanities – Art, Music, Philosophy, and World Language – was tasked with documenting their minors and curriculum, and faculty collaborated within their areas. In addition, Dr. Diakite wrote the section on Interdisciplinary Studies Major and Petri Flint wrote the section on Humanities Graduate Programs. This was the first time the Humanities Department was asked to include information on the Interdisciplinary degree, of which we are not the creators but the caretakers, and on the three graduate programs in Humanities. The work and process was discussed regularly in department meetings, and Dr. Diakite met with faculty to assist them when necessary. Several offices at the University were generous in providing materials and directing us to data. Our Dean Jane Fiske provided guidance as well. Due to various circumstances, the work continued into AY15, which was an unusually challenging year, due to the fact that 6 out of the 10 tenured faculty members had a sabbatical, and another faculty member moved to administration; this left us with many adjuncts, and full-time faculty stretched thin with departmental tasks. A draft of the Program Review was presented to Academic Affairs in November of 2015, and after input from Jane Fiske, Interim Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences, this was revised by faculty and resubmitted in February of 2016. Officially, this review covers the period AY 2009-AY2014, but we included information from AY 2015 or Fall 15 in some cases. The faculty in Humanities are confident that this Program Review accurately reflects the state of our department and programs and our hopes for the future, and that it will help orient us as we enter a period of new leadership at the University.  \nOUR DEPARTMENT AND ITS MISSION  \n“Humanities” might seem an unusually ambitious term for our four disciplines; because while Art, Languages, Music and Philosophy are certainly Humanities fields, our department does not contain all disciplines at the University that might be termed Humanistic, for example; Literature (housed in English Studies), History (in Economics, History and Political Science) and Theatre (Communications Media) . Historical factors and institutional choices have created a somewhat unnatural divide between what would otherwise be allied departments. Nonetheless, we embrace our title and all the meanings that it carries with great pride and dedication.
