Where will your curiosity take you?
How does a person's culture impact their life? What role does literature play in giving a voice to the marginalized? How can understanding history help us address current issues? How can I use my passions to advocate for social justice and equity? When and how do languages evolve over time? In what ways can I use my major to tackle global challenges?
Choosing a major can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. At the core of this decision is a question—a question that lives deep inside of you. As a student in the College of LAS, you’ll get to explore that question so that when you graduate, you can change the world. Whatever your curiosities, whatever answers you seek, there's a place for you in the humanities in LAS.
