Digital humanities is an interdisciplinary field that uses cutting-edge technology, advanced computing, and public engagement (especially via social media) to investigate questions in the humanities and to intervene in contemporary culture. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is one of the nation's leaders in digital humanities scholarship and teaching.
The university offers an array of exciting digital humanities courses taught by a set of distinguished faculty. Undergraduate students can pursue a digital humanities minor, while graduate students can received a digital humanities graduate certificate. Numerous related opportunities and events in the digital humanities support these curricular opportunities.
