Overview of Herd Humanities Program at Marshall University

The Herd Humanities Program at Marshall University commenced with the Cornerstone Program at Purdue University in Fall 2017, leading to the formulation of the Herd Humanities Committee in 2021. The program includes various courses and initiatives, culminating in the planned offering of Herd Humanities courses in Spring 2024. The next phase involves establishing a Herd Humanities Certificate Program with five themed tracks. Stakeholder engagement and meticulous planning form the foundation of this innovative academic endeavor.
