Study philosophy, music, languages, art and more in a humanities programs

The field of humanities is wide, giving its students a broad and well-rounded education that will provide a solid foundation for success in many jobs. While the humanities are not vocational and do not prepare students for a specific field, the coursework teaches students skills such as the ability to write clearly, debate, think logically, organize information, and speak in public. The humanities are a good field of study for students with broad interests, and a background in humanities can make you more cultured and a better critical thinker.

Humanities students can take classes in a wide range of subjects including: religion, philosophy, music, languages, art, literature, and drama. Humanities programs often offer study of other cultures, such as Asian or European, and some programs require students to specialize in a discipline or study of a specific geographical area. Some humanities graduates take time to travel, further broadening their knowledge and experience.

Someone with an advanced degree in humanities may go into teaching, but most students of the humanities pursue an advanced degree in another field such as law, medicine, or journalism. Graduates with an associate's or bachelor's degree in the humanities are often qualified for entry-level positions or internships. To earn management or more advanced positions, more specific skills and education usually are required.

and wonder that we could have tolerated anything so primitive."
