UCSC offers several discipline-based and interdisciplinary majors and minors within the humanities, and many majors in the social sciences and the arts integrate humanistic methods into the curriculum. Many majors in the humanities offer concentrations or pathways that allow students to pursue an individualized course of study. Finally, several independent majors are offered within the humanities.

Programs of studies of the humanities leading to undergraduate majors or minors include: American studies, classical studies, German studies, history, Italian studies, Jewish studies, language studies, linguistics, literature, philosophy, Southeast Asian studies, and feminist studies. There are five graduate programs in the humanities: history, history of consciousness, linguistics, literature, and philosophy. Curricular offerings in several languages and instruction in writing complement and support both the graduate and undergraduate programs of study.
