People can be your profession
Human beings are complicated, but working to understand them opens up limitless career paths and challenges. You can investigate why and how we create communities, and study our shared histories and our thousands of unique cultures.
It’s vital to understand people, how they communicate, what makes us unique, and what traits and influences we share. It can lead you to careers as diverse as geospatial mapping, law school and much more. If you love delving into the story of us, we’ll help you turn that curiosity into your life’s work.

The study of baseball can reveal much about the American experience, which you can do in Honors College courses like Baseball and the American Experience.
