Name: PCC Proposal to Establish a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Digital Studies in the Arts and Humanities
Proposed: 11/06/2015
Sponsor: PCC Committee
Proposal: The College of Arts and Humanities proposes creating a new Graduate Certificate in Digital Studies in the Arts and Humanities that will initially be administered by the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH), and co-sponsored by the Department of English and the School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures. Digital Studies in the Arts and Humanities is an interdisciplinary approach to scholarship and teaching that combines the critical study of new forms of digital media and identity with creative practices utilizing digital media and the application of computational tools and techniques to areas of traditional humanistic study. The learning outcomes from the Certificate center upon preparing students to conduct digital research and scholarship in their chosen field of study, and doing so with knowledge of existing digital work in that field, knowledge of best practices for project planning and development, and a critical awareness of the complex issues surrounding digital representation and identity.
