The B.A. in Digital Culture and Design is designed to provide students with the opportunity to pursue interdisciplinary study in the humanities, arts, and social sciences, with a focus on developing critical perspectives and practical skill sets in creating and utilizing digital media and content.

The mission of the Digital Culture and Design program is to prepare students to conduct advanced research across disciplinary boundaries, to synthesize information, and to present that information in a range of digital formats that suit the needs of a variety of audiences. Students in the B.A. in Digital Culture and Design program investigate the reflexive imbrication of technology and humanities and fine arts. They practice critical thinking skills not only on their assignments within the foundational theory and methods courses, but in the design and completion of digital projects in each of the advanced methods courses and in either an internship or practicum experience. The development of these skills culminates with their individually-designed capstone projects. They become adept at collaboration with colleagues in other fields of study; they investigate and pursue practical applications of disciplinary knowledge through digital technologies and content creation; they become more proficient in writing and in representing humanistic knowledge through other forms of media; they utilize technology for presentations, visual media and print documents; and they learn professional procedures appropriate for a variety of both public sector and private industry settings.
