BA in English - Digital Humanities in Boston United States | University of Massachusetts Amherst

The Digital Humanities (DH) specialization helps equip students for careers demanding technological knowledge and strong communication abilities. This program trains learners to develop and evaluate digital content while fostering more thoughtful engagement with digital spaces.
With digital tools increasingly influencing educational and everyday experiences, this specialization focuses on teaching DH methodologies, theoretical frameworks, creative approaches, and new media creation. Students explore various digital formats such as social networks, digital engagement strategies, electronic archives, and virtual communities. Our humanistic perspective ensures that technological studies remain grounded in the fundamental competencies central to the broader major: effective verbal and written expression, analytical reasoning, innovative problem-solving, and contextual analysis of diverse materials and digital resources.
