About the Program
The term "humanities" can be confusing to students and many students wonder what the content of their coursework will include. The humanities are not limited to a particular field but are defined by areas of study that ask the fundamental questions about the human experience and human society. Our humanities classes emphasize an interpretive approach (analytical, critical and/or reflective) to understand the human condition and human culture.
What will I learn?Studying the humanities enhances the ability to understand your self and society through the study of the languages, philosophies, fine arts, and literature of both Western and non-Western peoples. Many graduates of the program pursue graduate studies in areas of the humanities or in business, law, or the arts. Humanities courses encourage students to think in new and imaginative ways and to evaluate ideas and problems from a broad and critical perspective. |
What can I do with this course of study?Humanities majors also pursue a wide range of career paths including (but not limited to): Community/Organizational Worker, College Faculty, Critic, Journalist, Lawyer, Physician, Public Administrator, Teacher, Writer, Clergy Member, Small Business Owner, Grant Writer, Peace Corps/VISTA worker, Victim Advocate. |
