Chattanooga native Cassandra Castillo has participated in study abroad trips to Italy and Hungary during her time at UTC.<\/p><\/div>\n

Aspiring documentarian Cassandra Castillo sums up her double major in communication and humanities at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga like this.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommunication answers the question of how<\/em> I become a journalist. And humanities answers the question of why<\/em> I should become a journalist,\u201d said Castillo, who is minoring in Spanish.<\/p>\n

With a lifelong passion for journalism, she initially planned a second major in political science.<\/p>\n

Then she took biological anthropology (to satisfy a general education requirement) and it changed everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was incredible,\u201d said Castillo, who soon discovered, thanks to an advisor, that she could take more \u201cmind-blowing\u201d courses with a second major in humanities.<\/p>\n

\u201cHumanities is broader and allows you to take a lot of different kinds of classes, not just the hard-and-fast politics you get in political science,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Still, the academic freedom students get in the UTC humanities<\/strong><\/a> program has allowed Castillo to take several political science courses plus a range of others. In fall 2023, she took Religions and Politics in a Globalized World during an Israel-Palestine conflict.<\/p>\n

A staff writer for UTC\u2019s student newspaper The Echo<\/strong><\/a>, Castillo wrote a first-person analysis of the war after discussing it in class. She said it exemplifies the synergy of her two majors.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not only learning the technical side of communication and journalism but also taking classes that help me put things into perspective, both for myself and for others,\u201d Castillo said. \u201cThat\u2019s a big part of what journalists do and that\u2019s why the humanities program is so valuable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her dream job, after graduating in May 2024, will take her abroad to document underserved communities. Her professional wanderlust drew her to the international studies track in the UTC humanities program, one of three that also include liberal arts and women, gender and sexuality studies.<\/p>\n

A truly unique degree<\/strong><\/p>\n

The humanities are interdisciplinary studies that explore the human experience through history, literature, philosophy, art, languages and other fields.<\/p>\n

The undergraduate humanities program<\/strong><\/a> at UTC is appealing to students like Castillo because it\u2019s customizable, allowing them to choose almost any classes across the University\u2019s four academic colleges for their nine hours of electives.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery major in the humanities is different from the other,\u201d said Professor of Spanish Jos\u00e9-Luis Gasta\u00f1aga, the program\u2019s coordinator.<\/p>\n

There are specific degree requirements, but there is no set program of study, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe work with every student independently and use the flexibility of the program in favor of students with their goals in mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Experiencing the world<\/strong><\/p>\n

Castillo grew up in Chattanooga and chose UTC because it was affordable and close to home. But she has literally gone far thanks to UTC Study Abroad<\/strong><\/a>. The University provides students with rich opportunities to travel, learn and earn credit toward their degrees with generous scholarships and stipends to offset out-of-pocket expenses.<\/p>\n

Castillo spent a semester in Florence, Italy, in spring 2022 and a week in Budapest, Hungary, in spring 2023. Neither cost her much but proved priceless for her life and work, she said.<\/p>\n

The documentary she helped produce in Hungary explored the history and modern lives of minority communities in the former Soviet bloc nation, now part of the European Union.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was my favorite. It incorporated humanities and communication all in one,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The film is now the jewel of her portfolio<\/strong><\/a>, which is loaded with work she\u2019s done in UTC student-led media groups\u2014including Rising Rock<\/strong><\/a>, Mocs News and The Echo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019ve been able to do the things I want to do in college,\u201d Castillo said. \u201cI\u2019m definitely ready to go out and get the full-fledged job of my dreams after this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Knowledge that affects you<\/strong><\/p>\n

UTC humanities students like Castillo and Emma Sprayberry<\/strong><\/a> don\u2019t just accumulate facts; they learn how to think. Graduates can analyze situations and develop innovative solutions, whether in a corporate setting or a far-flung humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause they\u2019re able to see the big picture and understand the intricate web of connections that form our world, our students learn a lot of soft skills that are very important, not only to careers but in their lives in general,\u201d Gasta\u00f1aga said.<\/p>\n

Majoring in humanities, he said, \u201cYou become more aware of yourself as a person and your surroundings. You know your place in the world, the history of your country and can reflect on politics, religion, current affairs and many other things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who makes a good humanities student?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe find students who are interested in the humanities have an interest in culture in general. They study other languages and are interested in current affairs,\u201d Gasta\u00f1aga said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHumanities students are aware of the world around them and want to learn about it. But there isn\u2019t really a typical humanities student. They\u2019re all different.\u201d<\/p>\n
