Humanities and Fine Arts
The most important business and technical challenges of the 21st century are complex, interrelated, and always embedded in human realities. The Humanities and Fine Arts explore how human beings experience the world and make meaning from these experiences. Critically exploring the human experience will help develop skills important for anyone considering a future in Business and Innovation: empathy, a capacity for logical thinking, tolerance for ambiguity, and a greater ability to work productively with others.
