Career Opportunities

Humanities and Fine Arts majors acquire a broad liberal arts background, develop intellectual resilience, and master communication skills. This foundation prepares graduates for career success in the dynamic and sometimes disruptive economic landscape of the twenty-first century. Students in HFA develop useful and transferable skills that are invaluable to employers while also pursuing their passions. Striking this unique balance allows today's students of humanities and fine arts to develop into tomorrow's artists, teachers, pioneers, inventors, entrepreneurs, and leaders. Graduates of the college excel in careers in research, teaching, journalism, publishing, social and community work, medicine, law, technology, government, management, international relations, television and radio broadcasting, corporate and technical communications, and public relations. Alumni have also become successful visual and performing artists as well as famous actors and attorneys.

Students are encouraged to explore the world beyond the university as early as possible in their education. A number of the majors are flexible enough to accommodate international study, internships and other learning opportunities outside the classroom.
