There are also programs leading to the Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.), and to the Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) in Studio Art, Design, and Dance. The Field The humanities focus on human creativity, endeavor, and culture. The imaginative and creative artsliterary and performingderive from life, and teach about human behavior and constructs of social reality. The history of social, political, and economic systems illuminates and shapes our present and future lives. Students in the College are expected to broaden their perspectives on individual and cultural expression within their own and other societies, to understand the development and evolution of the discipline of study in relation to the culture from which it emanates, and to learn the methods by which knowledge in the discipline is gained. Academic Advising ServicesAll students in the College are encouraged to meet regularly with an academic adviser. Faculty and staff advisers are available to assist students with questions or concerns they have as they progress through their academic careers. This includes advice on course selection; departmental, College and University requirements; career guidance; assistance with academic problems; and referral information about other services. Career Opportunities Humanities majors acquire a broad liberal arts background and communication skills, which are an excellent foundation for many fields of employment and graduate study. Graduates of the College have gone on to careers in teaching, journalism, social and community work, medicine, law, technology, management, international relations, television and radio broadcasting, corporate and technical communications, and public relations. Graduates of the fine arts programs have also been successful visual and performing artists. Career and Field Experience Advising Students are encouraged to explore the world beyond the University as early as possible in their education. The humanities majors are flexible enough to accommodate international study, which is encouraged, and internships and other learning opportunities outside the classroom. The Campus Career Network operates the College of Humanities and Fine Arts Career Planning and Field Experience Offices, with offices in 262 and 264 Barlett Hall. Staff are available to help students make intelligent, well-informed career choices, and to provide opportunities to obtain experience through internships, cooperative education, and service learning programs.
