DIGITAL HUMANITIES
What will you do with technology?
The Digital Humanities is the newest field of research and innovation at UW-Stout. Students working in this new concentration
will bring computing technology to bear on the “Big Questions.”
You will search for answers to questions that drive you.
Literature? History? Anthropology? Yes.
In the Digital Humanities concentration you choose your field
of interest from any offered on the Stout campus. You’ll combine
those courses with some Computer Science offerings, and base
it all on a solid foundation in writing, design, and rhetoric. Then
you’ll be ready to use those tools to tackle your own original
research.

Graduate study
Your own ground-breaking research
After a course in research methods, you will spend a semester
preparing a research proposal. In it, you will identify a problem,
an opportunity, or an unasked question to which you want to find
an answer. Then you will spend a semester bringing technology,
and your own skills in research, analysis, and communication, to
bear on fulfilling your project.
A final product that will open doors
The culmination of your year-long research project will be a
cutting-edge digital artifact that will constitute the centerpiece
of your portfolio. Prospective employers will see what you are
capable of; graduate school admissions committees will see what
you are prepared to do. The digital world of the future belongs not
to those who simply master tools, but to those who understand
how technology affects the ways people communicate, interact,
and comprehend the world.
A degree in the Digital Humanities puts you at the forefront of
technological innovation, and gives you the tools to stay there. It’s
a combination that employers will find compelling.
