Exploring Big Questions for Lifelong Career Mobility
Humanities students explore big questions, like—
- What does it mean to be human? Where have we been, and where are we going?
- What is a good life?
- What does it mean to be a good citizen?
- Why are we sometimes moved to respond to suffering, and why do we often do nothing?
- What is true, and what is sacred?
We also develop competitive skills important to nearly any job or field of work. The first step to lifelong career mobility and personal enrichment is a degree in the Humanities. Most students earn associate's degrees and transfer to four-year schools, though we do offer stand-alone certificates to help you begin work immediately after graduation.

You choose when and where. Online options are also available! Find your advisor by Area of Study and major, or contact Luz Gamarra, lead academic advisor for Humanities.
