ENGL 472 Professional Paths in the Humanities

(1)

This course examines how the knowledge and skills students gain in Humanities courses correspond with workplace competencies in a range of careers. Through readings, guest speakers, and written assignments integrating key Humanities skills like textual analysis with the genres of job and graduate applications, students will learn the value of the unique tools they have already acquired in positioning themselves on a professional path. As they research and prepare for the job market, students will have the opportunity to connect with each other, alumni, and other professionals to investigate post-graduate opportunities. All the while, they will continue to develop skills in critical thinking, argumentation, and written and oral communication.
