The mission of the Digital Humanities Program at Marshall University is to explore and deepen the relationship between humanities disciplines and digital tools and technologies.

Our students receive a multidisciplinary education from award-winning and grant-funded faculty from colleges throughout the university. Thus, we prepare a new generation of professionals who are both humanistically and digitally savvy.

The goals of the DH program include:

  • Applying technical and critical thinking skills to conduct digital projects that bridge the humanities and other disciplines;
  • Applying theoretical frameworks and research techniques to interpret the key issues raised by the digital humanities;
  • Applying, analyzing, and creating knowledge around problems in digital humanities interdisciplinary studies;
  • Analyzing the impact of digital technologies on humanities research methods and approaches;
  • Fostering collaborations among faculty, staff, and students; and
  • Diffusing DH methods and tools into the teaching and research communities at Marshall University and beyond.
