Legion of Christ College of Humanities offers a two-year Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree in Humanities. To be awarded the degree, students must complete 60 credits of undergraduate work, at least 30 of which must be earned at the College. It entails:

1. Completing at least 60 credits of work with a 2.5 grade point average;
2. Passing all required examinations.

A) General Education Requirements (28 credits):

All students must complete the following courses:

The instruction language at the College is English, except for a specific literature track and if a foreign language class requires otherwise. Students who are not native English speakers should prove their capacity to perform college-level studies in the English language by means of a thorough oral and written examination as determined by the Academic Dean. In the case of lacking proficiency in English, remedial English (ESL = English as a Second Language) must be taken and successfully passed in the course of the first semester.

Furthermore, each student must acquire proficiency in Spanish, the official international language of the Legionaries of Christ. Both College and Seminary offers multiple opportunities for the practice of the Spanish language. If needed, a Spanish course will be offered during the last semester before graduation, which may be counted towards the Foreign Language requirement.

The following table exemplifies a possible combination of courses to fulfill the general education requirements.

B) Specific Requirements (32 credits):

During the second year, various elective courses will be offered, which may count towards the required Humanities credits.

Capstone Thesis

During the last semester, a Capstone Thesis of 15-20 pages is to be submitted. The thesis must be linked to one of the core courses (Western Civilization, Art and Music History, Literature and Communications) and is due at the end of the last semester of the humanities program. In addition to the written thesis, the student must present it orally in the context of an official academic act or another setting as determined by the faculty. 

Comprehensive Oral Examination

Before graduation, the students will give proof of their ability to communicate what they have learned in a comprehensive oral examination, in addition to the usual final semester exam in each subject.
