Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The humanities forum is an interdisciplinary program for study in the humanities. The Forum is funded in part by a development grant awarded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The program seeks to enrich existing humanities courses and implement new approaches to instruction in the humanities. The Forum includes faculty and students from Concordia, Moorhead State College, and North Dakota State University. (Quoted from the 1972 Concordia College course catalog)

Albert Anderson had a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Theology, a Master of Arts and a Ph.D. He was the head of a number of departments at this time.
Other Faculty:
Catherine Cater
Clarence Glasrud
Delsie Holmquist

Majors and Minors Offered:
There were no majors or minors offered at this point in time. The program worked in much the same way as the Honors program in which students applied and were accepted into the program as an almost extracurricular line of study.
Sampling of Courses Taught:
Courses taught in the Humanities Forum program were designed to be in-depth interdisciplinary studies of a significant theme.
Classes were most likely held in the Humanities Center, which is now known as Olin Arts and Communication Center.
Fun Facts:
The Humanities Forum was not a typical department or major/minor program. The forum based admission into the program on applications from students who had completed certain programs.
