As a student in the Bachelor of Science in Digital Humanities program at Illinois Institute of Technology you will examine a blend of traditional humanities disciplines—history, philosophy, linguistics, rhetoric, literature, and art history— in the context of practical, hands-on work in the digital world. So, what does this mean?

This means you will learn about communications in the context of visual design and web development, and learn how to communicate complex ideas in new ways.  You will examine the evolution of technology from a historical perspective. You might study ethics in the framework of the professional and digital worlds, or explore how people use technology and how it affects their lives. 

Your coursework will go beyond writing traditional papers. You will create interactive audio/visual projects to demonstrate your mastery of the material. In your final year, you will complete a capstone project on a topic of your choosing. Your hard work will result in a portfolio that can be used in job interviews or graduate school applications.

When you graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Digital Humanities, you will be prepared for graduate studies or a wide range of careers involving social media, public relations, web design, dating mining, user experience and interface design, and digital media, to name a few. 

By choosing the digital humanities at Illinois Tech, you will open up whole new worlds of learning and endless possibilities.
