<p>IIT is good for engineering students and the like, but I like just about everything about the school. If I were to enroll, I'd probably be looking into majoring in Humanities or Design (side question: what exactly is the 'Marketing Analytics & Communication' major?). How is IIT academic-wise in these majors?</p>
<p>^Okay, cross out the part about the Design and Marketing & Analytics majors- I didn’t realize they’re not available for undergrads. Replacement side question: What’s ‘Digital Humanities’ about?</p>
<p>Undergraduates are allowed to take design courses with permission once they are Juniors or Seniors. That being said, the university is making an effort to specifically recruit in the non-engineering programs. The degrees all have a significant amount of science and mathematics as well as a computing requirement. It is an institute of technology, after all… If that kind of humanities degree appeals to you then you will definitely be satisfied with the education. The classes are small and, as with any undergraduate program, what you get out of it, is primarily determined by the effort you put into it.</p>
<p>Now, on to your question about digital humanities. There is a minor specialization in this area and since I am not in the field, I would probably not do it justice. The [Wikipedia</a> entry](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_humanities]Wikipedia”>Digital humanities - Wikipedia) on the subject says:</p>
<p>“The digital humanities are an area of research, teaching, and creation concerned with the intersection of computing and the disciplines of the humanities. Developing from the field of humanities computing, digital humanities embrace a variety of topics, from curating online collections to data mining large cultural data sets. Digital humanities (often abbreviated DH) currently incorporate both digitized and born-digital materials and combine the methodologies from traditional humanities disciplines (such as history, philosophy, linguistics, literature, art, archaeology, music, and cultural studies) and social sciences with tools provided by computing (such as data visualisation, information retrieval, data mining, statistics, text mining) and digital publishing.”</p>
<p>I hope I have answered your questions to your satisfaction.</p>
