Forge your future
The adventure of a lifetime. Gain the strengths you need to succeed at anything – even jobs that have not been invented yet.
When you study writing, world languages, history, philosophy, religious studies, film and media, literature, narrative studies, creative writing, linguistics or morality, politics and law, you prepare yourself to thrive no matter what the future holds. Can’t choose? Our one-of-a-kind Culture, Technology and Environment program brings all these humanities fields together so you can blaze your own trail.
Change the world.
When you study the humanities, you master how to research with confidence, create with passion and write to persuade. You will imagine better futures, embrace civic responsibility and pursue a life of purpose. The humanities stoke your curiosity and enable you to solve real-world problems. Oral and written communication, teamwork skills with diverse groups, ethical judgment and decision-making are all humanities strengths. Unleash the power and the joy of humanities study.
Connect your passion to your career.
Who knows where life will take you? Embrace the adventure. From management, technology, advocacy and entrepreneurship to education, health care and entertainment, humanities-based skills will serve you well no matter what your future as a leader and a global citizen holds. Creative thinking, problem solving, effective writing and research: these are the strengths every employer seeks. And a humanities degree is an ideal entryway to law school or graduate study.
Live a good life.
More than three out of four humanities majors state that they are living “the best possible life,” and the vast majority say that they are satisfied with their careers. No other fields of study offer so many opportunities. And none prepare you so well to lead a life of self-reflection and ethical strength. Through firm foundations in writing, research, critical thinking, cultural study and debate, the humanities offer a toolkit for the creation of a fulfilling life and a more just world. Do what you love, and love what you do: study the humanities. Learn more about the many areas of study.
