The Ph.D. in Technology and Humanities (formerly the Ph.D. in Technical Communication) at Illinois Tech aims to educate a new type of humanities Ph.D., who will bring original contributions to scholarship, thinking, and learning to better understand the complex relationships between humans and technology. The program prepares students for faculty-line and alternative academic careers in university research and teaching, as well as for advanced research and development positions in the private and government sectors. You'll establish a strong foundation in the quantitative and qualitative research methods necessary to deeply investigate the unique problems surrounding humans and their relationships to technology. Additionally, you'll learn to consider technology through the theoretical lenses of a number of core humanities disciplines, such as history, language, information science, communication, and philosophy. As a unique complement to the program’s research methods and subject breadth, you'll be given instruction and ample opportunities to explore applied knowledge via research-intensive approaches to digital design and production, such as web design/development and game design.
