Digital Humanities

Learn how age-old inquiries into culture, meaning, and value meet emerging technologies and cutting-edge skills.

The Advanced Certificate in Digital Humanities (DH) teaches students how to apply emerging technologies to traditional areas of humanistic inquiry. The program emphasizes the special role of information professionals in supporting digital humanities research, teaching, and professional activities, especially within academic libraries and cultural heritage institutions.

1. Understand and describe current topics in digital humanities, including theory, methods, and applications, and develop critical perspectives on them;
