Digital Humanities Minor

A minor in the digital humanities prepares you for work in a wide variety of fields and enhances your employability. Recent studies indicate that digital competency doubles liberal arts students' chances of getting hired and significantly increases their starting salaries. Upon completion, you will be well prepared to work in libraries, museums, cultural centers, digital publishing, and nonprofits, as well as in business settings and in any capacity that requires you to be adept at obtaining, analyzing, and managing information in a digital setting.

• Digital toolset: Deploy an evolving and ever-growing arsenal of tools, programs, and applications in your exploration of the humanities. 
• Knowledge: Become a better learner, equipped with the tools to gather and analyze information effectively. 
• Critical Thinking: Evaluate sources and incorporate them into your creative projects accurately and ethically. 
• Communication: Write clear, logical prose to elucidate your digital projects. 
• Versatility: Apply your skills and knowledge in a variety of settings.

While growing numbers of scholars are revitalizing and reinventing the humanities through the application of digital technologies, many programs that teach the field's tools are intended for advanced students.

Saint Xavier's Digital Humanities program provides an undergraduate introduction to digital humanities training. The program is small, offering close relationships and opportunities to collaborate with faculty and fellow students. SXU's location in Chicago offers the resources and opportunities of a large city, including proximity to numerous libraries, museums, and other internship and employment venues.
