Deliberately integrating the humanities into the Georgia Institute of Technology's armada of world-class STEM-based programs is the future of pedagogy at the R1 Atlanta university—and perhaps for all of higher education, says Richard Utz, interim dean of the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, in this installment of the "University Business Podcast."

Higher education leaders, employers and college students continue to prioritize academic offerings that promise gainful employment and professional authority. Utz has championed Georgia Tech's mission to break down academic siloes and ensure students benefit from an interdisciplinary education.

"The separation between all the disciplines on a campus is artificial," he says. "It works for university researchers—not necessarily for its students and society."
