The University of Haifa was an early adopter of the systematic use of digital resources and information technologies in the humanities. During the 2017 academic year , it became the first Israeli academic institute to offer a BSc degree in the field of digital humanities. The ambitious three years’ program is attracting students with unique interests that are passionate about applying computational resources to cultivate a two-way relationship between humanistic inquiry and digital power. The unique B.Sc. is based on a double major degree in Information Systems and the Humanities and includes several new specialized courses. The program received prompt approval by the Council for Higher Education and seed funding from Yad Hanadiv Foundation. The program plans to initiate an internship program for students in high-tech firms, public libraries, archives and museums.
