PART OF THE PUBLIC POLICY, SOCIETY, AND IDENTITY FLIGHT PATH

Minor: Digital Humanities
(DH)

In recent years everything about the printed word has changed. What we read, where we write, and how we interact with books, stories, words, and images have profoundly altered our relationship with culture. Students can enhance their work in traditional majors by adding additional interdisciplinary skills in the digital humanities. Digital humanities minors gain the ability to tell powerful stories in digital spaces, to use sophisticated tools to build digital projects, and to develop the confidence to practice these skills for a variety of careers and audiences.
