The Masters of Arts in Humanities Computing is an interdisciplinary programme of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta. The program integrates computational methods and theories with research and teaching in the Humanities. It addresses the demand for Arts graduates proficient in computing skills, able to work either in the realm of humanities research and teaching or in the emerging job markets of information management and content delivery over the Internet.
Graduates of the program are well positioned for project management and leadership positions in emerging digital, multimedia, and database-driven projects, serving as an informed middle-ground between programmers, technical writers, new media artists, and researchers.
