BS in Digital Humanities

Digital humanities is the interdisciplinary study of traditional humanities subjects and concerns using digital technologies. The Bachelor of Science in Digital Humanities (DHUM) offers students a unique opportunity to combine humanistic inquiry in areas such as communication, history, language and linguistics, literature, and philosophy with a sophisticated skill set that is readily applicable to professional fields. Students majoring in digital humanities complete required courses that include training in research and writing skills as well as web and interactive design. Additionally, all students choose a traditional humanities specialization in history, literature, or philosophy; an interdisciplinary specialization; and a minor concentration. This enables them to develop deeper topical knowledge while pursuing the subjects they find most interesting. The digital humanities curriculum cultivates critical thinking and communication skills along with a host of technical proficiencies.
