Why Study Literature
Literature helps us better understand our lives, ourselves, and the world around us. Encounters with literature develop the concepts of identification, imagination, and empathy. In our increasingly chaotic world, these skills matter deeply. Taking a deep dive into literature from different cultures allows you to both expand your ability to evaluate and discuss the work itself and also better understand what it tells us about the world, our own beliefs and values, and the beliefs and values of others.
Why Study Philosophy
You might not find many job listings for “philosopher,” but studying philosophy prepares you for almost any path in life. Whether you're interested in law, business, nursing, social work, or education, philosophy equips you with powerful, transferable skills—like critical thinking, argumentation, and problem-solving—that are valued in every field.
