Yes. Oh, it may not contain ideas you particularly favor, but that's kind of the point.

For example:

UT Austin English (Humanities, no?) major requirements (https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/english/undergraduate-program...) and spring 2020 courses (https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/english/courses/index.php).

Or maybe UT Austin Philosophy requirements (https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/philosophy/undergraduate/The%...) and spring 2020 courses (https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/philosophy/courses/index.php). (Hey! Philosophy is still teaching 313 Symbolic Logic!) (Aww. Bob Mugerauer isn't teaching Contemporary Moral Problems. He's probably retired. But he was great; he looked like Captain Kangaroo. Dan Bonevac is teaching intro from his World Philosophy text. Cool.)

Anyway, most of undergraduate humanities are surveys of various sorts, with the specific goals of getting students to present arguments coherently.

(Hey! Computer Science is no longer requiring PHL 313K, or automata theory. They're dead to me now.)
