A grounding in the humanities prepares you to face today’s challenges–challenges whose solutions depend on joining technical and scientific knowledge with a deep understanding of the world’s political, cultural and economic complexities. Employers in our region are hungry for students with the skills the humanities foster: collaboration, communication, leadership, and multiculturalism, among others.
