Humanities Graduates and the Tech Industry
Posted in: Institute for the Humanities
The traditional claim that the Humanities provide a broader and more adaptable education than the vocational STEM (science, technology engineering, math) fields overlooks the fact that the Liberal Arts instill a sophisticated set of “soft skills” that are increasingly in demand in the tech industry. In this presentation, humanities majors and minors will have the opportunity to hear from a fellow MSU humanities graduate who now recruits for a major IT corporation about how the Liberal Arts provide crucial training for the tech industry, and how STEM education is now being expanded to STEAM (science, technology, engineering, ARTS, and math). Take advantage of this chance to discuss tech industry careers and job prospects.
