Studying the humanities can enrich your life and provide a well-rounded preparation for many careers. Adding a humanities focus to a business, medical, or technology major can enable you to examine your choices and be aware of the impacts of your decisions.

Writing

The University of Wisconsin-Platteville Humanities department also offers the most-taught course in higher education, College Writing. Effective written communication is an essential career skill. UW-Platteville wants to make sure you have the tools to improve your writing. Every year, members of our composition program publish the best examples of college writing in Stylus, and that anthology becomes a required textbook for the next year's students.
