Graduate Program
Curricular and co-curricular opportunities for doctoral students to explore computational and data-intensive humanities

The CDH Graduate Program provides a variety of curricular and co-curricular options for Princeton students. We prepare emerging scholars to be both theorists and practitioners, training them in computational thinking, critical data studies, cutting-edge tools and methodologies, DH research practices and project management. Our program offers opportunities for scholarly and professional growth, and for the chance to be part of Princeton's vibrant digital humanities community.
For questions about any of the CDH grad programs, contact Grant Wythoff.
