Tanya Clement has collected a list of Digital Humanities Inflected Undergraduate Programs as of 2009 with additions in the comments. This post also has useful links to discussions about DH education.
The Zotero group “Digital Humanities Education,” launched by Lisa Spiro, is collaboratively building a library that “includes syllabi and curriculum planning documents, as well as articles about open education, networked pedagogies, and more.” This will be an invaluable resource for the DH community, and much more comprehensive than what we offer here.
DH-related syllabi
The number of DH courses has grown exponentially in recent semesters. Instead of updating individual syllabus links, we are keeping the previous list below, and directing researchers instead to collections like these.
- Open Syllabus Project aims to create a database in order to collect, share, and analyze syllabus data from individual and institutional contributors. They also have a current list of syllabi in a public Zotero group.
- Keep an eye, too, on the Zotero Digital Humanities group‘s “syllabi” collections.
- Lisa Spiro presented an analysis of 134 DH syllabi at the DH 2011 conference.
A brief selection of DH-related syllabi.

Professional Development
There is an emerging push for DH courses aimed at providing skills training for those who are already working in the field, or would like to join it. The skills that should be required of DHers, though, is a topic of some contention.
- See Julie Meloni’s THATCamp proposal for a self-paced open-access DH curriculum for mid-career scholars.
- Lisa Spiro’s post “Opening Up Digital Humanities Education” calls for an open, distributed certificate program in the Digital Humanities, and promises future discussion of a DH curriculum.
