Digital Humanities describes a wide range of activities that apply digital technology to the study of the humanities in order to research, analyze, and present information to contemporary audiences. The minor in Digital Humanities fuses the traditional strengths of the humanities – the search for knowledge about human culture, and the cultivation of intellectual curiosity and empathy – with a greater understanding of digital age skills. Students learn collaboratively how to use digital technologies to ask and answer meaningful questions in the study of English, History, Philosophy, Theology, and other subjects, and to communicate persuasively and winsomely with their audiences.
