As in, a degree in Humanities vs. a degree in Liberal Arts (any level). I'm looking for which one will allow a combination of studies in History, Literature, Arts, and Paleo-sciences.What is the difference between Humanities and Liberal Arts?
Liberal arts includes humanities, creative and performing arts, social sciences and (generally, though not officially at some university) natural sciences.
Humanities are classes like: English, philosophy, art history, religious studies, etc.
Paleo-sciences will either be considered a social science (as a branch of anthropology) or a natural science depending upon your particular university.
So, in short, a degree in Liberal Arts will enable you to study history, literature, arts, and paleo-sciences. A degree in the humanities will probably not allow history (though some schools may consider that to be a humanity) or paleo-sciences.What is the difference between Humanities and Liberal Arts?
Liberal Arts is more broad and encompasses humanities along with the other studies that you're interested in. Humanities is just a category of liberal arts focusing more on civilization like philosophy.
