» Program Overview

Humanities, Not New; Technology, Not New; TechHum, Cutting Edge

Technological Humanities (TechHum for short), a unique program that trains you to use technology and critically examine its social, cultural, philosophical, and artistic implications, arms you with a dynamic set of qualitative and quantitative analytic skills.
Digital technologies are transforming the Humanities with smarter ways of analyzing and interpreting cultural and historical data. This new academic field helps fulfill the urgent need for professionals with technical skills like data analysis, web development, and new media communications.

All kinds of careers are open to graduates with these skills: user experience researcher/analyst, market researcher, business manager, marketing communications and advertising executive, journalist, lawyer, national security analyst/advisor, nonprofit organization executive, social media planner and content writer, and public policy analyst.

At LTU, you can create an individualized and flexible curriculum that combines foundational computer science courses, advanced courses in history, philosophy, and literature, and courses in a technological focus of your choice. Possible study areas include the social impact of artificial intelligence (AI), big data, bioengineering, or sustainable design. Your degree culminates in an original interdisciplinary research project that offers excellent preparation for industry work and/or graduate studies.

» Why LTU?

  • Small class size.
  • Faculty members are active researchers in diverse fields such as energy humanities, philosophy of emotion, public policy, and techno cultural theory.

  • The degree makes it easy to minor in computer science, marketing, technical communication, or game design.
