Making a Difference, Making a Life

Studies show that Liberal arts graduates are in high demand in the job market. Why?

Focusing on the humanities, social sciences, and/or creative and performing arts develops critical and creative thinkers that major companies are eager to hire. In a rapidly accelerating digital world, STEM jobs may be substituted with artificial intelligence, but the humanities cannot be replaced.
