Master of Arts [M.A] [Digital Humanities - Data Visualization and Mapping Area] From The Graduate Center City University of New York

The Data Visualization and Mapping area is intended for students interested in the wide variety of tools and methods that have arisen in recent years for the visual exploration of quantitative, textual, and cartographic data. Students will learn about the principles of statistical visualization and cartography and apply these theoretical approaches to the development of visual representations of data sets. Courses in the area will also cover some basic aspects of graphic design that are particularly relevant to visualization, including considerations of aesthetics, clarity and understandability, and visual storytelling. These courses will prepare students for careers in data visualization, cartography, and data-driven graphic design, both in digital humanities and in industry.
