HUMSS | Wheel of Career

The Humanities and Social Science strand is intended for those who are curious about what lies beyond the wall. In other words, you are prepared to face the world and interact with a large number of people. This is for those thinking about majoring in journalism, communication arts, liberal arts, education, or other social science-related fields in college.

If you pursue this path, you could one day be a teacher, a psychologist, a lawyer, a writer, a social worker, or a reporter. This strand is all about honing your communication skills. Oh! And priesthood is an option as well!

The HUMSS curriculum includes a wide range of subjects that examine the world and its people from various perspectives. Each learner will gain a deeper understanding of culture, politics, literature, arts, and society — and how each influences today's pressing issues — in this strand.
