Studying the humanities prepares you for any kind of career. Humanistic training equips you to think critically and to take action on important issues in the world, and humanities majors find careers in all kinds of industries. Employing Humanities focuses on career exploration and support at every step of your trajectory to set you up for a fulfilling professional life.

The skills you learn in the humanities equip you with a flexible and adaptable toolkit that grows with you. In the Humanities Division at UC Santa Cruz, you will be able to hone these skills in relevant, resonant coursework and apply them in experiential opportunities that put your humanities studies in action.

Wherever you are in your academic and professional path, we can support you to develop career-ready skills, discover career possibilities, and design a meaningful career.
