Seton Hill’s new digital
humanities major has it all
3
As a student in the new Digital Humanities
Program at Seton Hill University, you will take a
unique combination of courses in English, graphic
and interactive design, business entrepreneurship,
communication and the humanities.
You will also choose an area of specialization
that supports your personal academic and career
goals, and you will gain practical experience in a
student-run design firm.
Seton Hill’s Schools of Humanities, Business,
and Visual and Performing Arts collaborated
to create the new digital humanities major. The
program is designed to prepare students for the
increasingly broad spectrum of careers that require
the ability to communicate well in a digital
environment.
Areas of specialization in the new major
include creative professional writing; graphic
design, web design and branding; and integrated
business, marketing and communication.
As with all majors at Seton Hill, identifying and
preparing for a career is part of the coursework,
so every student graduates with a clear path
forward.
A creative design firm, run by students, is an
integral part of the digital humanities program.
The design firm collaborates with creative
professionals and firms in the region to provide
business, marketing and communication services
to close to 40 regional nonprofits.
Digital humanities program majors intern with
this firm at least twice — once as a new student
and again as a senior.
Seton Hill is a leading, Catholic liberal arts
university that welcomes students of all faiths. It

College of Distinction and a U.S. News and World

placement rate is well above the national average.
