Humanities Meets Computer Science

Building on the widespread growth of digital humanities programs across the country, a pilot program at Stanford University enables students in humanities fields to cultivate stronger computing skills with a combined major in computer science. While the program won’t necessarily turn these students into professional programmers, it gives them the chance to tailor their course of study by finding ways the two fields can complement each other. In other words, they can acquire computational skills in information management, analysis, and visualization that augment their humanities research interests.
