The Humanities play a crucial role in developing
understanding of diverse cultures and appreciation of various perspectives,
skills that are necessary to solve global challenges, be they related to
economic or health issues, among others. One approach to make the pertinence of
the Humanities to professional life obvious is to design courses that blend the
Humanities with specific professional training. Such courses develop humanities
skills such as intercultural competence, advanced foreign language skills when
applicable, and knowledge specific to various parts of the world to help
prepare students for careers in a global world. |
