- Description
- RIT’s humanities, computing, and design major pairs liberal arts with tech to prepare you for a dynamic career that requires advanced computing and digital skills. The degree pairs digital tools with computing to further a range of liberal arts fields, including anthropology, communication, culture, history, journalism, literature, and the arts. It creates new possibilities for these traditional fields by integrating digital technologies, computing skills, visual communication, data analytics, and more. Uniquely interdisciplinary, the curriculum connects course work in three of RIT’s colleges–College of Liberal Arts, Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences, and College of Art and Design–to help you understand the historical and cultural contexts for, and to think critically about, how new technologies can impact traditional areas of the liberal arts. You’ll take courses in new media design, web and mobile design and development, and database and data modeling as well as computing. You will learn to employ a range of tools and techniques, including 3D design visualization, geospatial technology, and electronic literature. The major also fosters critical analysis of digital culture, social media, and digital games. Team-based projects and public engagement are hallmarks of the major. Professional electives also enable you to gain knowledge in areas you can apply directly to your professional pursuits. You’ll also gain broad knowledge as well as deep expertise in an area of specialization.
