<p>I was caught in the middle between my interests in humanities/sociology and computer science. Is there any program of any university that provide interdisciplinary studies that is adaptable to both?</p>
<p>My daughter doubled in the arts and CS. She didn’t start out in CS but the two go together pretty well.</p>
<p>Maybe that would work for you.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>No, I mean is there some school that provide interdisciplinary study of such kind. For instance, UPenn does have Huntsman Program I find interesting. Though that might be beyond my reach.</p>
<p>Thanks Poet girl! That’s really encouraging. May I ask what art major did your daughter chose? Graphic design?</p>
<p>Sorry I typed the name wrong, auto correction. Poetgrl</p>
<p>I thought the Huntsman program was business/IR, not sociology/humanities per se? Maybe you should be more specific about what you are looking for?
CS is being combined with all sorts of other areas these days, such a computational linguistics etc.
Here is one humanities/CS program:
[Digital</a> Humanities | Research](<a href=“Research | Department of Computer Science”>Research | Department of Computer Science)
Have you googled at all? [Digital</a> humanities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_humanities]Digital”>Digital humanities - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>No, actually, she was a performer as well as doing costume and clothes design. It’s led to a really great first job after graduation too.</p>
<p>She did a game design class and it turned out she was really good at it and the professor lead her into a CS major.</p>
<p>I really actually think it’s a good combination, personally, to pair CS with the humanities.</p>
<p>again, good luck to you.</p>
<p>BeanTownGirl. Sorry I probably remembered it wrong. Actually, I am not quite sure about what I’m going to study, so I think interdisciplinary study might be suitable. Anyway, I would definitely do more research on that, and thank you for information.</p>
<p>Hmm I think I’m pretty interested in human-computer interaction.</p>
<p>At schools which offer a CS major within the main arts and sciences division, it should not be too hard to major in CS and take substantial numbers of humanities courses, up to a second major or more, as well (each major will probably take up about 40% of one’s courses).</p>
<p>It may be more difficult if the CS major is in an engineering division (with additional required physics and engineering courses), but such engineering-based CS majors will still have 20-25% required humanities and social studies breadth courses, plus possibly some free electives.</p>
<p>ucbalumnus thanks a lot, that’s really helpful!</p>
