The Graduate Certificate Program in Digital Humanities

The Graduate Certificate Program in Digital Humanities

Why the DH Certificate?

  • Flexible curriculum that complements your departmental requirements and adds DH expertise.
  • Hands-on learning through coursework, workshops, and opportunities to test digital methods in practice.
  • Community of practice that connects you with peers, faculty, and a wider DH network at UVA.
  • Individual advising tailored to your research and professional goals.
  • Career preparation for paths in higher education, secondary teaching, libraries, museums, foundations, public service, and industry.

Who Is Eligible?

  • The program is open to any enrolled graduate student in any school at UVA.
  • Students in both master’s and doctoral programs are welcome.
  • While students are encouraged to apply during their first semester of graduate school, students at a later stage may be considered for admission.
  • Certificate students must also be enrolled in a UVA department or school; i.e. there is no free-standing DH Certificate program or online course option.
