The University of Chicago Forum for Digital Culture offers a variety of academic programs in which students learn coding skills relevant to research in the humanities and investigate the impact of digital computing on society, culture, and the arts.

The Forum’s curriculum responds to the growing demand for academic rigor in the loosely defined field of digital humanities and the need to certify technical competence in this area. It equips students to pursue careers that utilize their skills in research, writing, and critical thinking in tandem with the use of software for the study of human languages and cultures, past and present.
