Program Requirements
Students enrolled in the Collaborative Program in Digital Humanities must meet the requirements of their respective home units as well as those of the Collaborative Program. In most cases, the requirements of the Collaborative Program do not add to the number of credits students are required to accumulate by their home unit and the credit value of the degree remains the same.
Notes:
- A list of Digital Humanities courses will be selected annually by the Digital Humanities Management committee in consultation with the participating programs for fulfillment of the 0.5 credit in Digital Humanities.
- Where a collaborating program has its own practicum course, such as in Art History and Applied Linguistics, only a maximum of 1.0 credit in practica can be applied to degree requirements.
- Students writing a thesis or major research paper must focus on a Digital Humanities topic. The proposed topic must be approved by the student's home unit and by the Digital Humanities Management Committee.
The requirements of the collaborative program are:

Thesis/Research Essay Proposal
At the time of declaring their option, thesis/research essay students are encouraged to declare a preliminary topic and tentative list of potential supervisors. Thesis/research essay students must submit a research proposal to the School that has been approved by their thesis/research essay supervisor prior to registering in CDNS 5908 or CDNS 5909.
Language Requirement
The School requires a reading knowledge of French. This is a program requirement and not an admission requirement. This requirement may be satisfied in the following ways:
- Successful completion of FINS 3105 or its equivalent (with a grade of B- or better).
- Successful completion of a French language examination.
- Alternatively, a student may fulfill this requirement with a demonstrated knowledge of an Aboriginal language.
- The School conducts the French language examinations in September and January. Students choosing the first option should note that examination results in these courses form part of their record, although they are additional to the course requirements for the degree.
