The School of Humanities and Social Sciences offers a rich educational experience that equips graduates to think critically, solve difficult problems, and communicate effectively.
Our students work alongside curators at world-renowned museums, cover stories for local news outlets and radio stations, intern for professional sports teams and gain experience at top companies. Getting involved and making connections outside of the classroom not only makes for a more dynamic college experience, but also helps our students develop professionally.
Our alumni can be spotted at these Kansas City employers:

Where is UMKC taking you?
"I want to be a voice for other individuals. I want to help organizations and people work to take the step from education to implementation, especially in the areas of being multicultural and diverse."
Where is UMKC taking you?
"Somewhere successful. In an ideal world, I’ll have a short story collection someday. I might want to teach at a high school or at the college level. I had a teacher in high school who challenged me to be better than I thought I could be, and I’d love to be the person who inspires students like that someday."
Why did you choose UMKC?
"During high school, I visited 10 colleges, both in-state and out-of-state. I was looking for a college with small class sizes and world-class professors. I wanted to have a full-circle experience in education, culture, diversity and internship opportunities."
