There are universities which really combine programming with the humanities in an integrated study. One that comes to mind is the University of Groningen in The Netherlands with the Information Science study they're offering: "Information science is the branch of science that deals with the storage, processing and analysis of large amounts of data. The study of Information Science in Groningen focuses on information relevant to Arts: text, historical data and communication data. During your studies you deal for instance with these questions: * Can a computer perform automatic translation based on a large collection of examples? * What is the best way to store historical data in a database? * What are good ways for people to communicate with computers? The study of Information Science in Groningen deals with theory, experiment and application." http://www.rug.nl/let/onderwijs/afdelingen/informatiekunde/index http://www.rug.nl/let/onderwijs/afdelingen/informatiekunde/i... Personally I think it's very good that there are studies which don't look at IT/programming in 'just' (not meant negatively, just not able to find a better word at the moment!) in the Computer Science way. There are of course also studies which combine IT and Business/MBA-like courses. Good, broadly developed backgrounds to have when going job-hunting IMHO. :)
