Clemson University News

The College of Arts and Humanities (CAH) has unveiled a new minor through the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies, thanks to a Cornerstone Grant from the Teagle Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The Pathways in the Humanities and Social Sciences minor affords an opportunity for Clemson students of any major to engage in the close study of important works of thought and culture. 

“Pathways offers students the chance to delve into transformative texts that explore fundamental questions about what makes us human and how to live together in a free and democratic society,” said David Coombs, an associate professor of English and faculty director of the Pathways initiative. “Recent national studies show that taking courses in the humanities makes students more likely to enjoy later career success and to report feeling personally fulfilled. It’s an important part of how Clemson prepares students for life and the workforce after graduation.”
