This minor offers students contemporary, online skills in writing, design, and visual analysis combined with an informed understanding of the culture, history, and critical interpretation of digital texts such as video games. This synthesis of the humanities with information technologies helps prepare students for a wide variety of professional pursuits in the networked, creative economy, as well as graduate study in digital humanities and new media studies.
