Digital humanities leverages a combination of traditional research methodologies in the humanities or the social sciences with computing tools like visualization techniques, data mining, statistics, and computational analysis. Courses approved under the ‘digital humanities’ rubric must meet at least four of the following six learning outcomes:
- ability to integrate digitally driven research goals, methods, and media with discipline-specific inquiry;
- ability to understand, analyze, and use data;
- develop critical savvy for assessing sources and data;
- ability to use design critically;
- ability to assess information and information technologies critically;
- ability to work collaboratively.
