Last year, 90 degrees in the Humanities were awarded by MIT out of a total of 3,490. This presumably includes double majors.

The largest subcategory was Economics, which is considered a humanity subject at MIT.

There are also a fair number of other majors that aren't in the School of Humanities but also aren't what most people would consider STEM like the fairly large School of Architecture, which includes things like Urban Studies and Planning.

The overall number also includes a fairly large number of degrees, mostly masters, from the Sloan School of Management.
