Studies in the Humanities prepare students to graduate with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in a rapidly changing, highly diverse and internationally competitive world.

Our students find career opportunities in wide-ranging fields, including the legal and medical professions, nonprofit organizations, interpreting and translating services, journalism, advertising, creative and technical writing, human resources, banking, teaching, and countless others.
