As a program, Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities (ISH) is designed to help students pursuing honors,  or a Ph.D. in Humanities locate their specific subject matter and disciplinary perspective in a broader context of the humanities at large; ISH also provides them with a community of peers with similar interests regardless of their area of concentration. Courses in the program are designed to introduce students to foundational texts in their historical context and from different disciplinary perspectives: literary and historical studies (including cultural, intellectual, social, and art history), philosophy, religious studies, as well as the humanistic social sciences.
