Overview

Master of Arts in Digital Humanities

Currently, you can't apply for this degree.

The Collaborative MA in Digital Humanities allows students to explore how digital technologies are changing how we understand art, film, music, literature and popular culture, how we develop new forms of collective memory, and how we create global communities and intercultural dialogue. 

Students will learn to think critically by undertaking original research involving the latest theories, methods and technologies, while collaborating with other students and faculty across Carleton and with community partners. 

Through the practicum component, students can acquire hands-on experience with innovative tools for the computational analysis of cultural texts and gain exposure to new methods for analyzing social movements and communities enabled by new media networks.

Capital Advantage

This program capitalizes on Carleton’s unique location in the National Capital Region (NCR). 

The NCR is home to hundreds of game developers, media production facilities and digital start-ups. 

Students also have access to the National Library of Canada, the National Archives of Canada and a host of museums, including the National Gallery of Canada and the Museum of Civilization, all of which are undertaking large digitization projects that will require expertise in this field. 

The National Research Council of Canada, which already supports arts and technology initiatives through a partnership with the Canada Council for the Arts, is also located in Ottawa. 

All of these institutions provide research, practicum and career opportunities for students.
