HumanitieS @ Work

This class will help you connect the dots between your love of books and your curiosity (anxiety?!) about life after college, between analyzing a text and analyzing a data set. It will equip you with answers to big questions like what do we mean when we say the "humanities" and what can you do with a humanities degree?

As a required course in the Digital and Public Humanities minor, this class will equip you with both a practical and a theoretical understanding of how and why the humanities matter to the world of data analysis, museums, private & public arts organizations, business, education, and more. 

This new interdisciplinary minor highlights the importance, utility, and employability of humanities disciplines in the world. You will engage in project-based learning and combine elements of computational thinking with humanistic skill sets and methods (analysis, historical knowledge, written and oral communication, and more). With just five required courses, you'll explore content in English, Humanistic Studies, Computer Science, Communication Studies, Philosophy, History, Art, Environmental Studies, Business, and more!

Humanistic Studies, or HUST as it is often called, is an exciting, interdisciplinary department that invites you to think across traditional departmental boundaries. Whether in an introductory-level course like this one or an upper-level seminar, all HUST classes provide you with the opportunity to integrate the study of literature with history, religion, art, philosophy, and music into a dynamic whole. In HUST, you get to do it all!
