Digital Humanities Certificate Programs

Digital Humanities is an interdisciplinary field of study that applies technological tools and computational methods to the study of cultural, historical, and literary objects.

Graduate Certificate in Digital Humanities

A graduate certificate in DH emphasizes computational methodologies for advanced research in the humanities or social sciences. Students will be introduced to a range of computational methods designed to supplement their own research while engaging theoretical debates within the field itself. Students will learn basic methodologies in a focused survey, which will be supplemented through graduate seminars that offer more in-depth training in digital methods and technologies. In addition, students will complete an original prototype of a digital project, which will support and extend their own research. While students will apply digital methods to their own research, the program itself is rigorously inter- and multi-disciplinary, fostering dialogue across academic disciplines. The program consists of 12-credit hours, including the Digital Humanities Foundations course in which they will design a project prototype and a Digital Humanities Capstone in which they will further build their project and present it formally to the campus. Additionally student will complete two elective seminars in computational methods. Read more about the Graduate Certificate in Digital Humanities
