In the Humanities@Work program, you'll major in Interdisciplinary Studies as you progress through six theme areas. Students work together in a cohort model to build these skills both inside and outside the classroom and fully immerse themselves in the program by living on campus. Plus, you'll benefit from seminar-style classes, which are generally smaller in size (fewer than 15 students), allowing you to go in depth on a topic and challenging you to stretch and grow as you debate and learn in an intimate class setting (the best way to learn the Humanities, if you ask us!).

As a Humanities@Work student, you'll combine coursework in literature, history, social sciences, philosophy and religion, writing, and more. The six theme areas are designed to sharpen useful skills employers are looking for. By shifting the focus from the subject you study to the skills you obtain, you'll learn how to apply your humanities studies to the real-world workforce.

You will also participate in an internship each year, with a deeply immerse internship experience in your senior year, taking what you've learned in the classroom and applying it on-the-job. All Humanities@Work students will live on campus to more fully engage in this robust program.

Be prepared for your future

Employers all over the world, including top CEOs, are always in search of candidates with diverse skills like critical and creative thinking, writing and public speaking, the ability to work well as a team, problem-solving, global consciousness, and emotional intelligence.
