Digital Humanities

Using digital tools to research humanities questions

UCLA Digital Humanities Program

The UCLA Digital Humanities Program provides learners with knowledge about the tools, methods, and theoretical issues central to this emerging field. Students in the DH program learn about a range of DH methodologies including text analysis, data mining and visualization, geospatial analysis, multi-media storytelling, and network analysis; they additionally receive the training necessary to apply these tools to research questions in the Humanities.

The Program offers a certificate for graduate students and a minor for undergraduates.
