Approaches such as distant reading and visual analysis expand the range of possible inquiry. By bringing a humanistic lens to these technologies, scholars are able to critically apply them to their research and draw out novel insights from their subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ec417dc4 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:8px;background-color:#d6dbdf;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-ac435f1c489bfb96e81d023da4ee3ef0\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">Program Outcomes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-45a8b624ffd56273c15144fb241c5e2c wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-bottom:0;line-height:1.1\">Students who participate in the program will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"bullet-points\" style=\"padding-top:0;line-height:1.6\">Understand the growing scholarly field of Digital Humanities through a critical examination of its methodologies and trends. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"bullet-points\" style=\"line-height:1.6\">Identify the most relevant methods and technologies for their research, be it traditional and\/or in the form of digital projects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"bullet-points\" style=\"line-height:1.6\">Develop advanced skills with the guidance of experts in their selected DH approach(es).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"bullet-points\" style=\"line-height:1.6\">Gain competencies in data, metadata, and digital infrastructure. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"bullet-points\" style=\"line-height:1.6\">Build projects for online portfolios that demonstrate technical and research abilities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">Curriculum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">To earn the certificate, students must take three courses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);line-height:1.6\">HIST\/ENGL 7888 Graduate Colloquium: Introduction to Digital Humanities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">One relevant elective course within the home department&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">HIST\/ENGL 8275 Digital Humanities Capstone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);line-height:1.6\">We highly recommend that students take the introduction course first, then an elective, and then the capstone.
