Do you have a passion for words and ideas?
Does the drama of history or the power of
great writing excite you? Does the role of
religion in personal and public life today
capture your imagination?
 These are just a few of the topics you can choose to study as a major
in the Humanities division at Bloomfield College. Here you will broaden
your intellectual horizons and discover how to pursue your intellectual
interests while also developing the fundamental skills you’ll need in
any career. You will learn to think clearly, analyze complex issues,
make reasoned judgments, and express your ideas effectively - skills
you will need whether your life’s work is writing, journalism, law,
teaching or sales.
The average starting salary offered to history majors who graduated in 2005–06 was $33,071, a 4.2 percent increase over the previous year.
Broadcasting job prospects will be best for applicants with a broadcast journalism degree and internship or college radio station experience.
Projected average annual starting salaries for first-year law associates at small firms (up to 10 attorneys) range from $43,500 to $67,500.
Capstones
The capstone course is the culmination
of a humanities student’s
academic experience at Bloomfield
College. Working closely with a
professor and fellow students, you
will choose a topic related to your
major, develop it into a research
paper, literary work or broadcast
journalism project and then present
it to the college community.
The capstone course fosters hard
work, collaboration and the ability
to bring a major project to successful
completion, all skills that will
serve you well in the workplace
and in life.
Honors Program
The Honors Program is designed for students who want a challenging interdisciplinary
college experience. The program provides a unique opportunity for intellectual development
both in and out of the classroom. For information on the Honors Program, please
call the Office of Enrollment Management and Admission
and make an appointment with an admission counselor or with the Director of the
