humanities and Social Sciences

Study Human Nature and become engaged in shaping our society and culture

Today, students are actively looking for ways to get involved, volunteer, and make a difference in their community and the world. Classes in humanities and social sciences are a great place to start. These studies are the gateway to careers in communications, teaching, law, politics, government, business, social work, counseling, and much more. You can find opportunities in non-profit organizations, the private and public sectors, government agencies, and international non-governmental organizations.

"I find that my students today are deeply interested in the good society. They are concerned with and interested in what's going on in the world and appreciate classes that are relevant to their experience."

— Political Science Instructor Robin Datta
