This interdisciplinary program assumes the continuing relevance of the humanities in the information age. The program explores, in particular, the many ways in which information technology has affected the production, publication, consumption, understanding, and significance of language, art, and culture in the contemporary era. The CIT program offers two tracks: one with a focus on new media communication, the other a focus on cross-cultural communication. These tracks provide graduates with knowledge and skill necessary to succeed as professionals in a global, technological economy. Students graduate from the program with a crtical understanding of language, literature, and the arts; skill in high tech, digital communication; and a knowledge of the cultural forces that form and inform the worlds in which they live and work. Both tracks of the program emphasize writing, critical thinking, and hands-on technology projects.
