Digital humanities is a form of the humanities that is located at the nexus of the
digital revolution and humanistic learning. The digital age has been transforming
human life and in many ways human nature itself. The distinctive place of DH in the
academy is to enable the humanities to engage critically in the interrogation of digital
technologies. Likewise, it explores traditional humanities questions using the distinctive,
investigative powers the computer age affords. Each side of the concept of "digital
humanities" holds the other accountable and enables each to engage in a more complex
and mutually beneficial relationship.
The Digital Humanities Certificate is designed for students who wish to study the
humanities and want to demonstrate they are technologically skilled. Many humanities
students may not pursue careers in the traditional humanities. All humanities students
will be challenged to display competence, expertise, and creativity in the novel application
of digital technology to most realms of work, play, and life. This certificate is
designed for those students who wish both to study the humanities and are also interested
in developing digital skills immediately applicable to the job market they will face
upon graduation.
