Humanities - Everett Community College

Humanities from Everett Community College is a Campus Associate Humanities degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. GENERAL INFORMATION The Humanities ask questions about meaning, value, and significance. The Humanities include all disciplines that employ interpretive, non-quantitative methodologies to probe and express the human condition. Some subjects, such as art, history, music, religious studies , philosophy, and literature, lie almost entirely within the Humanities domain, while others, such as education and the social and behavioral sciences, have significant Humanities components. The Humanities embrace one another across boundaries, stressing the importance of interdisciplinary study and collaboration, striving to connect disparate fields and to integrate knowledge around the experience of being human. The Humanities are also a primary vehicle of cultural memory. They preserve, transmit, and critique the experiences of humanity. The Humanities prize the clear transmission of ideas in oral and written discourse, translating specialized ?jargon? and employing accessible language in all forms of interpersonal communications, including writing, conversation, and dialogue. CAREER OPTIONS Careers in almost any field, such as law, medicine, business, research, education, and public service can benefit from studies in the Humanities. Many students take a Humanities Bachelor's degree directly into the job market, or combine a Humanities minor with another field or advanced degree, giving them the advantage of training in creative problem-solving (?thinking outside the box?) as well as the ability to synthesize and communicate clearly across the boundaries of different academic disciplines. Recent research demonstrates that employers value the trainability of Humanities graduates, whose transferable skills in areas such as thinking critically, solving problems, communicating effectively, and identifying values involved in decision-making distinguish them from the mere specialist.
