Technology shapes cultures & cultures shape technologies

There is a growing awareness of the profound impacts of digital tools, interfaces, and algorithms on individuals, societies, and cultures.

Digital methods allow us to answer the big questions asked by the humanities, and the technological sector requires people with the critical thinking, creativity, research, and communication skills taught in arts and humanities programs.

CTS Co-op program coming Fall 2022!

WHY CO-OP?

Adding co-op to your degree gives you the chance to work in a position related to your field, gain valuable on-the-job-skills, make important industry connections, and build your resumé. Gain experience while you earn your degree, and get paid as you learn.

In addition to completing the Bachelor of Arts with a Major in CTS, you can add one optional Area of Emphasis in: Performance, Making & Design | Storytelling & Public Humanities |  Power, Identities, & Equity.  Each emphasis curates a unique set of courses that will allow you to apply and explore digital methods in a way that is meaningful to you. These may inspire interest in a specific career path, further research, or allow you to combine your studies in CTS with another subject (Minor or Double Major).

The Culture & Technologies Studies program provides an interdisciplinary option for students wanting to expand on traditional humanities scholarship. The program is designed to function on its own as a major, a minor with a different major, or as part of a double major.

In this way, the program is flexible, catering to a wide range of interests and providing flexible pathways towards many possible futures.

Here’s how the major, minor, and double-major options work.
