Digital Studies Certificate Program

The Digital Studies Certificate helps students learn about digital culture and develop their skills in producing digital media content. Each student that completes the Digital Studies Certificate will be able to better recognize what digital communication tools can do and how to use them.

Digital cultures are about relationships between people and the digital tools they use. To better understand those relationships, Digital Studies students think about two big questions:

What impact do digital technologies have on our lives?
How can we use digital tools to make our world a better place?
