Courses are welcoming to students of all academic backgrounds and technical skills. Students use digital methods to open up new perspectives in the humanities and social sciences; explore how the digital impacts our everyday lives and local and global communities; and enrich their future careers through experience and practice within the digital landscape. The Digital Studies minor is open to all JMU undergraduate students. The minor requires successful completion of 18 credit hours, including DS 101. Foundations in Digital Studies . DS 101 is not a prerequisite to other Digital Studies courses and can be taken at any time. Students may take no more than 6 credit hours from a single discipline. Up to 6 credits from the studentβs major can double count for the Digital Studies minor. Other courses outside of this list may be counted towards the minor with the approval of the minor steering committee on a semester-by-semester basis. A maximum of two courses (6 credit hours) can count in this way. Courses must be approved before the student enrolls.
