Humanities Engagement Certificate
The Humanities Engagement Certificate is designed for degree-seeking students of all majors who wish to position themselves as global citizens who research, write, and think critically about the most pressing and urgent human experiences of the twenty-first century. Course work in the humanities supports research in interdisciplinary themes and topics, while also providing an opportunity for students to think broadly and deeply about professional skills. Engagement with the programs and events of Miami University's Humanities Center provides opportunities for all students to apply humanities perspectives to their major course of study.
