Why Humanities?

Humanities Honors make the student pursue further graduation work in the humanity disciplines for teaching in public and private schools, government, technology, tourism and civil or foreign service. On the other hand thinking about the Humanities Department as a whole, it offers classes that expand students awareness to the human condition, thus the scope of humanities is huge.

contrary to the belief, humanities offers a vast range of career options for students. Students who have completed their graduation in arts can opt for a variety of careers in humanities ranging from Assistant Administrative Officer, to Content Editors to Librarian. Careers in Arts are no longer the lesser cousins of careers after studying science or commerce. Careers in Social science are as lucrative and prestigious career options as their engineering and medical counterparts.
