| Summary: | Troubling signs about the state of humanities in higher education are not new, but the steady decline in humanities majors is cause for concern. The humanities, however, play a critical role in society and public life, promoting citizenship and public engagement along with valuable skills. There are untapped opportunities for expanding history, and more broadly humanities, appreciation through cross-disciplinary collaborations and stronger connections with pre-professional programs.
