Digital Humanities Certificate
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Cheryl Edelson
The Digital Humanities certificate provides an opportunity for students in any major program to strengthen critical thinking and technological skills while deepening an understanding of the Humanities. Students in this program will develop and deploy innovative digital methods to approach history, literature, philosophy, political science, religious studies, fine arts, and performing arts and to communicate in ways that reach broad audiences beyond the classroom. For example, students will be given orientation in web design and publishing, database and information management, geospatial analysis, crowd-sourcing, source digitization, computational textual analysis, and network analysis.
