Graduate Certificate in Digital Public Humanities

University Archivist/Head of Archives & Special Collections at Radford University

My goal is to make history more accessible and inclusive to all, which is what drew me to the DPH program.

Archivist/Digital Collections Librarian at Furman University

The DPH curriculum and the RRCHNM internship introduced me to many digital tools for text analysis, mapping, modeling, multi-media storytelling, network analysis, and online exhibit creation. This hands-on experience helped me better understand the nature of digital humanities and its interdisciplinary intersections.

Digital Scholarship Librarian

I know that getting my certification in DPH from Mason gave me the edge I needed to get my current position.

Humanities and Social Sciences Instructor

[The DPH certificate program] was the perfect opportunity to learn about and experiment with digital tools, to read and discuss current scholarship in the field, to get a refresher course in public history, with the digital component included, and to gain experience through internships.

Social Sciences Teacher, Digital History Coordinator, Archivist

The classes and projects provided me with much needed digital training, skills, experience, and networking. The DPH certificate also expanded my scholarly credentials and helped to validate my academic pursuits.

Arts and Architecture Librarian

Digital Humanities has become a growing focus for libraries, and it is especially relevant in my work with students and faculty from the visual and performing arts as well as art history and architecture.

Associate Professor in the Department of Journalism and Media Communication

The skills I’ve learned [from the DPH certificate program] are invaluable to my day to day work as a professor and researcher.

Archivist for Collection Development in Manuscripts and Archives

The principles of digital public history I learned through the program have been fundamental in shaping my approach to presenting historical materials and information online.

History Librarian

The course on pedagogy has probably most directly impacted my everyday work. I completely rethought my library instruction sessions based on that course, and will have a book chapter out soon about how and why I did that.

Professor of History

I was interested in rethinking how history is being taught in the age of digital humanities...The program answered my questions. It helped me rethink my teaching, incorporating digital tools.

High School English Teacher

The DPH program allowed me to expend my knowledge of historical thinking, gain valuable experience using digital tools, and try out these fresh skills at the Smithsonian Institute and the RRCHNM internships.
