💬 “There are stories that need to be told for us to make sense of the world around us.” — Dr. Esther Godfrey, Chair of Literature, Languages, and Composition

👀 While humanities programs are declining nationwide, at USC Upstate, we’re seeing something different:
📈 English majors up 14.5%
📈 History majors up 18.8%
📈 Political Science up 34%

Why the growth?
✨ Flexible online learning
✨ Personalized outreach from faculty
✨ Courses that meet students where they are
✨ Real-world career prep
✨ And a brand-new $4.9 million Mellon Foundation grant for nonprofit internships

From future English teachers to policy influencers and global changemakers — our students are showing just how powerful a humanities education can be.
