Digital Humanities Minor
This fifteen-credit hour minor is ideal for students who wish to explore how the quantitative, computationally-engaged research methodologies of the STEM fields can enhance their understanding of central problems in the humanities.
The Digital Humanities Minor is a joint effort of the departments of Foreign Languages, Geology, Computer Science, History, and the Volpe Library.
