Georgia State University’s Digital Humanities interdisciplinary certificate program prepares students with the skills to navigate the intersection of technology and the humanities by combining traditional studies in critical thinking, communication and cultural analysis with modern digital tools. Students earning a Digital Humanities certificate will be well-positioned for a wide range of careers that blend technology with humanistic inquiry.

The program’s interdisciplinary approach provides valuable skills for careers in media, digital content creation and communication. In fields like education and academia, students can pursue roles in digital pedagogy, online course design or archival work that require knowledge of digital preservation and curation. The program also prepares students for roles in tech industries, such as user experience (UX) design, web development, data analysis and digital marketing, that rely on a strong understanding of human behavior and cultural trends.
