Best of both worlds
Liberal arts/tech degree
has employers recruiting
By Gail Miller

A new WSU degree combining technology and liberal arts has employers eagerly seeking qualified graduates. The degree is called digital technology and culture (DTC).
Three concentrations
There is a 24-credit core that all students take. Then they choose from among three concentration areas. The most popular concentration is media authoring; these students typically are hired to do things such as Web design.
A second concentration on technology and culture has prepared two of its graduates for graduate school. They are pursuing degrees in library and information science and technical and professional writing.
One graduate of the third concentration, informatics, does database management.
“Students who have database management skills and can digitize and archive print and visual materials are commanding the upper end of the scale right now,” Ericsson said. “Those who have good Web development and technical writing skills are being offered around the middle of the scale.”
The DTC program is housed in the English department on all three campuses, but students take courses from anthropology, computer science, fine arts and sociology as well.[/quote]
