UNC has indicated through the Carolina Digital Humanities Initiative that it is fully committed to creating programs that strive to meet and solve the complex problems presented in a constantly changing world.
Big data and technological trends have indicated that there is a strong need for people to understand the consequences of digitalization.
CDHI is a graduate certificate program in digital humanities, which will allow students to learn about the relationship between the humanities and online information sharing.
The program strives to promote collaboration, conversation and the exchange of research in humanities digitally.
Traditionally, only the science fields have had access to the online exchange of information.
The specialization in digital humanities will be useful to graduate and doctoral students not only during their time at UNC, but will help to set them apart in an extremely competitive job market.
The creation of CDHI shows the renewed effort UNC has placed on research and scholarship that will benefit not only academics but also the public as a whole.
What will propel this program forward is the future inclusion of undergraduate students.
The program says that it will introduce CDHI to undergraduates in the coming semesters.
