Arts, Humanities, & Communication
Thinking critically, working creatively, and expressing your vision and views - the Arts, Humanities, & Communication pathway will help you develop information literacy, cultural awareness, and the ability to adapt to careers.
Career options, following further education at four-year colleges or universities, include: writing, social media, acting, directing, script/screenwriting, teaching K-12 or college/university, graphic design, communications, public relations, journalism, creating or teaching art, composing or teaching music, practicing law, and more.
You will find Arts, Humanities, and Communication majors in any career where expression and communication matter. In these programs, you are encouraged to contextualize and interpret things that are often difficult to explain with language, a powerful skill.
