Why 人文学科?

The interdisciplinary design of the 人文学科 degree provides a professional skillset for its majors that responds powerfully to the shifting nature of the twenty-first-century job market:

  1. Teaches students how to collaborate, as interdisciplinarity is itself a model of intellectual collaboration;
  2. Teaches students how to pivot intellectually, approaching a given problem from multiple frameworks at once;
  3. Provides a broad-content curriculum that has been shown to increase employability for graduates.

Our faculty are committed, first and foremost, to the success of our students in all of the classes that we teach, and to helping to mentor and prepare our majors for graduate school, professional school, the career of their choice, and, of course, for life

Advanced students in our program have the opportunity to gain valuable experience, and monetary stipends, working as research assistants, and teaching assistants and graders for introductory courses. So please come visit us soon, and consider joining our department and working with some of the very best teachers, scholars, and students at this great University!
