The Humanities Indicators

The Humanities Indicators are a set of data that measure the health and trends of the humanities fields—such as literature, history, philosophy, and arts—across educational and cultural institutions in the U.S. They track aspects like degree completion, enrollment, employment, and funding. The goal is to provide a clear picture of how these disciplines are evolving, helping policymakers, educators, and the public understand their importance and plan for the future. Essentially, they serve as a comprehensive report card on the state of the humanities nationwide.
