Digital Humanities Minor
The Digital Humanities minor is for students whose interests encompass the arts and humanities, social sciences, and computing. As such, it is offered jointly by the Indiana University School of Liberal Arts, School of Informatics and Computing, and Herron School of Art and Design.
The minor guides students in employing visual communication and informatics in the arts, social sciences, and humanities. Students will learn to work with large datasets and perform data analysis on texts. The minor prepares students to understand the technologies they use as objects of humanistic and artistic design, laden with historical and cultural perspectives that interact with political and economic systems. This experience with digital technologies and humanistic thinking expands opportunities to work in today’s highly interconnected global environment.

The minor requires knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, which may be demonstrated by test, portfolio, credential, or by taking a course that cover Photoshop, such as CGT 11700 Illustrating for Visualization and Communication, CGT 21100 Raster Imaging for Computer Graphics, or NEWM N102 Digital Media Imagery.
