Data Science in the Humanities
In response to increasing graduate involvement in the Humanities Digital Workshop (HDW) and its associated faculty-led projects, we offer a graduate certificate combining traditional humanities inquiry with computational methods and analysis. All graduate students in the humanities, regardless of home PhD program, are welcome to pursue this certificate. A data-driven approach can complement and enrich any humanities field, and the certificate features appreciable cross-disciplinary engagement.
In addition to individual courses, another means of interdisciplinary study for PhD students is the addition of a graduate certificate. Tuition Remission is not available for coursework beyond 72 units. Students should consult with their program department and the certificate department to determine if additional coursework beyond 72 units will be required to complete both programs. Earning a certificate must not increase a student's expected time to degree or amount of stipend support. PhD students may pursue only one certificate.
Graduate students interested in a Graduate Certificate should first apply for admission to the Washington University department in which they wish to obtain an advanced degree. Once admitted, each student should notify their department advisor and the Certificate Program director of plans to obtain the Certificate. In addition, students should submit an "Application for Admission to Certificate Program" form to the Office of Graduate Studies in Arts and Sciences, with a copy to the Certificate Program office.
