Students who enrolled in NJIT in the fall of 1997 or subsequently are required to take a senior seminar (designated HSS 40X) to satisfy their upper division General University Requirements (GUR) in Humanities. Honors College stjudents may choose an HSS 491 offering.  A list of the courses being offered in upcoming semesters is available on the Humanities website.

Prerequisites: In fulfillment of the upper division Humanities General University Requirements, students must take a Literature/ History/ Philosophy/ Science, Technology, and Society course and an elective (open) course in an HUM subject. To enroll for the capstone seminar, you must have completed all your lower division GUR courses (nine credits of English Composition and Cultural History) as well as the Lit/Hist/Phil/STS requirement or the open HSS elective. Because of limited availability, capstone seminars are currently restricted to students with senior status. The cumulative earned hours on your transcript in SIS must be 90 or greater.

Exception: Students who enrolled prior to Fall 1997 may still take a senior seminar course, properly chosen with an academic advisor, to satisfy either the Lit/Hist/Phil requirement, or the HUM/SS/STS requirement, as needed.

Questions: For questions about HSS 403, 405, 406, 407, 408 and 409 courses, contact Professor Norbert Elliot.  For questions about HSS 404 courses, contact Professor Richard Sher.
