WHAT IS HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES STRAND (HUMSS)?

The HUMMS line is designed for those who wonder what is on the other side of the wall. You're set, in other words, to take on the world and talk to a lot of people. This refers to those who wish to take journalism, communications, liberal arts, education, and other classes in college related to social science.

You may be looking forward to being a teacher, a psychologist, a lawyer, a journalist, a social worker, or a reporter someday if you take this strand. This strand focuses on the strengthening of communication abilities. Ah! My! Oh! And the priesthood is also a choice here!

The HUMSS strand focuses on improving students' ability to read, write and speak because, if you have not already noticed this strand, people want to join the society that will deal with many people.
