Annually Listed DIGH Electives 2026-27
(last updated July 20, 2026)
The following courses can serve as DH electives (in some cases, you will have to ‘apply for an override’ because the course in question is core to another program). Please contact the DH Coordinator for more information. More courses may be added; check back periodically.
In general, a potential elective course features content that intersects with digital media/culture, or is one where the instructor would be open to a student taking a DH perspective in the work. You might find courses in the calendar that are not listed here that might be suitable; contact the course instructor and the DH coordinator if you are interested in taking a course not listed below as a possible elective.
In some cases depending on the requirements of your home program, a 4000-level course might be appropriate and could be taken with appropriate permissions; please contact the coordinator if you’ve found a potential 4000 level course.
To enroll in DIGH 5011 and DIGH 5012 you must approach the DH Coordinator well in advance of the term start. Both of these require the student to either have arranged supervision with a willing faculty member (for the directed study) or with an organization (for the practicum) in advance. Contact the DH Coordinator for more information.
