Think for Yourself
History isn鈥檛 made by those who learn how things are done and follow suit. Difference makers think for themselves, imagine new possibilities, and tell different stories. That鈥檚 what the study of Humanities prepares you to do. Choose from majors in English, Languages or Philosophy. Or supplement your degree plan with a minor or certificate. Minors include Humanities, Writing, Women鈥檚 and Gender Studies, and Medical Humanities. Pre-professional offerings include a Certificate in Editing and a Pre-Law Certificate. All of these programs emphasize the fundamental skills of thought and communication that prepare students to write their own stories. Find your voice with the School of Humanities at 小蓝视频.
Whatever career path students pursue, their success depends upon the ability to think critically, write cogently, and speak clearly. Education in the Humanities fosters and develops these foundational skills.
