What do Timothée Chalamet, Anthony Fauci, the president of Planned Parenthood, and the CEO of Goldman Sachs all have in common? They all majored in arts and humanities disciplines in college!

Yes, you can major in the arts and humanities and not only get a job, but build a rewarding career with impact.

The Arts and Humanities in Action (AHA) program empowers first-year students interested in those areas of study with a clear understanding of how an arts and humanities education translates to valuable workplace skills and prepares students for the challenges of tomorrow.

Join a cohort that connects you to fellow students, dig into real-world case studies of arts and humanities training in action, and build tangible skills through workshops and site visits.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

  • Mentor meetups with arts and humanities alumni tailored to the interests of participating students
  • Hands-on workshops that help you identify the skills and strengths that will make you a competitive applicant
  • A one-day career trek to Boston to visit alumni at work and connect over dinner
  • Special sessions with faculty that explore their own pathways into arts and humanities
  • Personalized guidance on career planning and professional development from Loeb Center staff
  • A jumpstart on planning for summer 2026 internship and research opportunities

The program takes place in person and on campus January 12-16, 2026 and is free for participating students
