HUMSS

A strand offered to senior high school students under the Academics track. The HUMSS Senior High School strand is designed for students who intend to take up journalism, communication arts, liberal arts, education, and other social-science related courses in college. Because these courses revolve heavily around interacting with other people, the Senior High School HUMSS strand is all about improving students’ reading, writing, and speaking skills.

Careers in Humanities and Social Sciences

Graduates of the HUMSS strand can have successful careers as the following:

Journalist

Because HUMSS is focused on research and writing, many HUMSS graduates are able to use the skills they’ve learned to launch successful writing careers, including ones in many broadsheets and online publications.

Lawyer

As a HUMSS student, you are expected to be adept not just at writing but in speaking as well. This makes HUMSS the perfect foundation for those who want to become great lawyers in the future. Exposure to core subjects like world politics and community development also help students build a strong moral foundation which they will need in their litigation career.

Education

Graduates of the HUMSS strand can also enter the academe as teachers or professors. Some subjects they can teach include literature, philosophy, writing, English, Philippine studies, or guidance counselling.

Politics

For the chosen few, HUMSS is a good background for those who seek to enter public office. Years spent learning about public speaking and community development will be essential in your position, no matter how big or small this may be.
