Humanities
The humanities are academic disciplines that study human culture. The humanities use methods that are primarily critical, or speculative, and have a significant historical element—as distinguished from the mainly empirical approaches of the natural sciences.
Career Options
Career options for students who get a degree in humanities include: communications director, content strategist, editor, technical writer, instructional designer, proposal manager, human resources specialist, journalist, public relations specialist, operations research analyst, and school counselor.
