Bachelor of Arts in Applied Humanities - Rural Leadership and Renewal

The BA in Applied Humanities provides students interested in fields such as business, health, and design -- all among the most dynamic careers in the world today, and marked by sustained high job availability according to the World Economic Forum's Global Challenge Insight Report -- with a transdisciplinary education combining professional skills in these areas with the cognitive, creative, international, interpersonal, and intercultural intelligences and competencies taught in the humanities, intelligences and competencies that offer a vital edge in these and other rapidly changing professions.
Students also study and practice the variety of organizational, collaborative, and leadership skills that are most often used in administrative contexts, including the development of mission/vision/outreach plans, commercial sponsorships, customer and project management, and public speaking.
Rural communities routinely face a multitude of challenges, from economic stagnation, population decline, and environmental degradation, to public health crises, persistent systemic racism, and, in the case of many indigenous peoples, the continued effects of a long history of willful neglect. In the Rural Leadership & Renewal emphasis, you'll learn how to create opportunities for overcoming these challenges through innovation in the public and applied humanities, agricultural production, e-commerce, environmental entrepreneurship, and sustainable tourism. In the process, you'll develop skills in project planning, community enrichment, environmental stewardship, entrepreneurial strategy, innovation literacy, and intercultural competence.
