  • While many students choose WPI because of the chance to explore their interests through the 2-unit HUA requirement, students may also major or minor in the humanities and arts or pursue a double major in combination with a science, engineering, or management program.
  • WPI’s BS in Humanities & Arts (HUA) combines the humanities and arts with science to provide a unique balance in studies to help students understand that science and technology are means to a greater end.
  • In this immersive program, students will study human cultural achievements to develop broad, universal skills in research, analysis, writing, or performance. 
  • As an HUA major, students will also be able to choose one of 12 concentrations, giving them the option to dig deeper into one of their other passions or explore a new interest.
