About Our Division

 

The Humanities and Teacher Education Division offers Bachelor of Arts degrees with majors in the following disciplines:

  • Creative Writing

  • English

  • History

  • Liberal Arts

  • Philosophy

The division also offers the following minors:

  • Women’s Studies

  • African American Studies

  • Film Studies

In the fall of 2007 a new major will be introduced, Film Studies. The Master of Arts Degree is offered in American Studies and History. The Teacher Education Program offers a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential (Elementary) and a Single Subject Teaching Credential (Secondary).

Each year, the HUTE Division sponsors a Symposium that gathers students, faculty, and members of the wider University to join in convivial discussion on a different thought-provoking topic each month.

Each spring graduating Seniors gather with faculty at an annual HONORS BANQUET to celebrate their academic accomplishments. Last year one of our History majors, Kimberly Lowe, was selected as class Valedictorian. We also are proud that two of our graduates were selected as Fulbright recipients.

The HUTE Division also sponsors EXPRESSIONISTS, the student literary and fine arts magazine that is published each spring. EXPRESSIONISTS is a multi-genre publication that is compiled and edited by Pepperdine undergraduates, and presented to the university community at a gala gathering each spring.

The Creative Writing Program oversees a monthly Coffeehouse gathering in which students are encouraged to share their work in an open microphone setting.
