Humanities in Class Online Courses

The National Humanities Center collaborates with partners, scholars, and subject matter experts to provide virtual courses that allow educators to explore a relevant topic in a collegial, self-paced environment.

Participants actively engage with course materials and colleagues, expand their own knowledge, skills, and dispositions, and develop customized educational resources. These courses are offered in three different formats: six-week courses (35 CEU credits), summer week-long intensive courses (25 CEU credits), and mini courses (15 CEU credits).

Mini Courses (15 CEU Credits)

Asynchronous courses that require 15 hours of work to complete.
