Learn how to use 计算机科学 to revolutionize the study of 历史.

的 Department of Engineering, Computing 和 Mathematical Sciences 和 Department of 历史 are excited to offer a groundbreaking, interdisciplinary program that allows students to integrate two distinct areas of focus - 计算机科学 和 历史 (CS+历史).

Archival materials from places like the National Archives in Washington, D.C. 和 depositories around the world now have collections available to the general public thanks to advances in technology. 地图, which are essential to the study of history, have been digitized to become interactive, allowing individuals to explore changes over time on topics ranging from population growth 和 decline to the rise 和 collapse of empires 和 civilizations. Digital games are excellent ways for students to develop “historical thinking,” 和 educational publishing houses increasingly add digitized elements to online text for history courses.

B.A. in CS+历史 will prepare students to apply their knowledge 和 skills in the development, 实现, 和 use of computer software 和 hardware to explore a concentration in digital history. 毕业后, students will be able to build 和 manage digital archives, apply data 和 textual analysis techniques to historical texts, 和 create innovative ways to represent 和 interpret historical events.
