Enrolment

This is an open enrolment program. A student who has completed 4.0 credits may enrol in the program. The full enrolment requirements are on the Calendar's page for this program.

Completion requirements

(4.0 credits, including 1.0 credit at the 300/400-level)

Students should note that some courses at the 200, 300, and 400-levels may have additional prerequisites.

Permission to count courses towards the Minor in Digital Humanities that are not in the Completion Requirements must be received by the Program Coordinator and will be granted on a case-by-case basis when the student’s work demonstrably and substantially engages Digital Humanities-related content or research methods.

It is not possible to complete this program in one year.

11.0 credits in introductory courses: DHU235H1 and DHU236H1

22.5 credits from the groups listed below.

-Only 1.0 credit total from Computer Science may count toward the Digital Humanities Minor, with only 0.5 credit at the 100-level being accepted toward program completion.

- DHU339H1 can be taken twice if the topic is different.

30.5 credits from approved courses that provide a capstone experience: DHU435H1, DHU436H1, DHU437H1

Other 400-level courses with a significant Digital Humanities practicum element can also be considered for fulfillment of the capstone requirement, if students receive written permission of the Digital Humanities Program Coordinator within the first two weeks of enrollment in the course.

The following courses may count towards program completion:

Digital Humanities: DHU334H1/ DHU335H1/ DHU336H1/ DHU337H1/ DHU338H1/ DHU339H1/ DHU339Y0

Other courses with a strong digital humanities component may be offered across the U of T campus. A significant part of the course must involve the application of digital technologies to humanities scholarship, or of humanities scholarly methods to computing and digital cultures, as well as the reading of scholarship in the Digital Humanities field. By submitting the course description and syllabus as evidence of this strong Digital Humanities component, students may apply to have these courses considered for credit under Requirement 2. Students need written permission of the Digital Humanities program Coordinator to have these courses considered for credit.
