Summer 2008 Undergraduate Humanities Courses

The undergraduate Humanities courses below are provided by the HUX M.A. in Humanities program to allow bachelor's degree students, including Nursing and B.S.Q.A. students, to satisfy the CSUDH upper-division Humanities graduation requirement. Either course will satisfy this requirement. You will need to call the Extended Education Registration office to register. Click on the registration instructions below for the phone number and other information. Because the HUX program is part of Extended Education, its fee structure differs from that of most other university departments. HUX course fees currently are $212 per unit, or $636 for one of the three-unit courses below.

NOTE: These Summer courses run on a different schedule from the rest of the university. They begin on May 5, 2008 and run for 15 weeks. The HUX program is on a trimester schedule, different from that of the on-campus university. The HUX Calendar below gives the dates you need to know. We offer three undergraduate Humanities courses. The Upcoming Terms Schedule linked below indicates the undergraduate courses offered in the future (see the bottom of the page).

To register for these courses, call the Extended Education registration office at 310-243-3741 or 877-GO-HILLS.
