Master of Arts in Digital Arts & Humanities

University of British Columbia - Okanagan Campus

Digital humanities work involves researching, teaching and learning about the humanities in a digital context-whether that’s building and using software, websites and datasets to display information, or digitizing, preserving and using other technology-focused methods like augmented and virtual reality.Digital Arts is a highly integrated practice combining strong theoretical frameworks with specific acts of making in graphic design, digital photography, digital video and audio editing, web design, 2D and 3D animation, digital writing, and mobile application development.Combining the two fields in one degree facilitates dialogue between creative and humanistic studies - a conversation that is central to the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies. The MA interdisciplinary degree in digital arts and humanities draws upon a well-established network of researchers as the foundation for this program. Graduate students have access to the expertise of diverse, nationally and internationally recognized researchers from a variety of faculties and disciplines in a coherent, thematic framework.Program milestonesestablishing a faculty supervisory committeecompleting courseworkpreparing, presenting and defending a thesis research proposalcompleting thesis research and writing, and defending the work
