An Integrated Graduate and Undergraduate Curriculum in Digital Textual Studies

We propose to develop an integrated undergraduate and graduate curriculum in Digital Textual Studies, including a minor and revamped graduate certificate. Textual studies encompasses a broad set of disciplinary fields, techniques, and skills which seek to better understand the nature of texts. These include editing, bibliography, archival research, historical and literary scholarship, and the digital humanities. Training in textual studies is critical for students interested in graduate and professional work in publishing, libraries, and academic IT.
