Choosing a major is tough, especially when you have a lot of different interests. It’s easy to feel like you have to let go of one thing in order to pursue something else, whether that something is considered more “practical,” or addresses the dreaded “can I get a job doing that?” Studies have shown that humanities majors are just as competitive on the job market as their colleagues in STEM and business; in some cases, more so, due to the critical reading and reflection skills one gains through the humanities.
The Humanity and Technology major is one way you can pursue your interdisciplinary interests, and below are additional resources to help you learn more about interdisciplinary internship opportunities, career development and research.
