Humanities degrees rule
At peak earning ages, liberal arts majors earn more than graduates of professional schools.
Liberal arts majors have low unemployment rates after graduation. For mature workers with liberal arts degrees, unemployment rates are 3.5 percent.
Above facts gleaned from the 2014 report “How Liberal Arts and Sciences Majors Fare in Employment,” conducted by The Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) and the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS)
What:HSU’s new curriculum resources help faculty design lessons that give HSU students the ability to find and compete for careers that match their values, interests, needs and the causes they support.
