Program Description
Minor effective: Fall 2025
The Digital Humanities minor brings digital approaches into the study of the humanities and humanistic approaches to understanding the digital. The DH minor allows students to develop sophisticated digital skills and approaches that they can use in their own academic work at Drew and as the basis of future employment. DH programs offer significant opportunities for students to collaborate with faculty on research and to work independently on projects. DH courses, like the Introduction to DH, also offer opportunities for interdisciplinary work with both faculty and students collaborating across disciplines and drawing together the work of multiple disciplines in their projects.
