Area of Concentration (A.o.C.) in Applied History - Digital History Program Description |
Mount St. Mary's University's Department of History proposes a new concentration in Applied History to provide our students with expanded opportunities for innovative academic investigations and potential career pathways while retaining a fundamental grounding in historical scholarship. The goal of the new program is to incorporate the traditional focus areas of Applied History (archival research, museum studies, preservation, public history, etc.) with the modern tools of the historian's craft. <br> <br>Digital History: This concentration track will focus on the modern historical research methodologies, tools and technologies used in Applied History preparing students to perform scholarship in fields such as digital archiving and digital museum exhibits. This interdisciplinary concentration will also prepare students for other career pathways that require an integrated background in critical thinking and analysis with a grounding in computer science. <br> |
