About the Initiative

Career journeys for CAL students rarely directly correspond to their major. Humanities and social science majors lack a one-to-one matching between major and job title.  Study after study reveals how humanities and social science majors thrive in the workplace once graduates can identify and pursue a career field.

We believe that CAL majors can enter nearly any field after graduation: it depends on how they want to align their passions, skills, and intellect with the working world. To assist in this process, the College of Arts and Letters provides various support and resources, including career readiness courses, career counseling, alum networking, and internships, to help students explore and prepare for their future careers.
