Graduate Digital Humanities

The University of Virginia’s Graduate Certificate in Digital Humanities provides students across all graduate programs with interdisciplinary training in digital and computational methods that enhance humanities research. Designed for flexibility, the certificate integrates seamlessly with departmental requirements and emphasizes hands‑on practice through coursework, workshops, and participation in UVA’s vibrant DH community. Students receive individualized advising, gain technical experience through the required Introduction to Digital Humanities and Practicum courses, and tailor the certificate through elective work aligned with their research goals.

Open to master’s and doctoral students in any UVA school, the program fosters a collaborative community of practice and connects students to UVA’s extensive DH ecosystem—including faculty experts, peer networks, incubator groups, and regular workshop series. The certificate prepares graduates for a wide range of careers in higher education, libraries, museums, public service, cultural heritage institutions, and industry roles requiring digital research and communication skills.
