As graduates secure employment or start ventures of their own, they will demonstrate how awareness of the humanities adds value and enhances the results for the organizations they serve. Study in the humanities encourages students to think outside of the box and creativity, skills that are highly desirable to employers.

The humanities minor is intended to complement major programs of study presently offered at UMC. A minor in humanities helps students broaden and balance their chosen majors with skills such as creative thinking and expression. The minor enables students to recognize opportunities, think creatively, assemble resources, and plan and implement new initiatives in a wide variety of employment settings.
