Studia humanitatis ('humanistic studies,' also briefly called Humaniora; literally "studies of humanity") or studia humaniora is the Latin term used since the Renaissance for the entirety of the humanistic educational program. This program was based on a return to the Greek and Roman Antiquity, which required the learning and cultivation of the Greek language and especially the Latin language. It also included disciplines like rhetoric, grammar, history, poetry, and moral philosophy. Not all Renaissance humanists possessed good knowledge of Greek, but excellent mastery of Latin was expected in any case. The modern Humanities as teaching and research disciplines are derived from this tradition.
