Our program was just approved as a major and minor degree in eSociety. While I am waiting for a more formal PR blurb, I thought I would share this in answer to your request. This program means to blend social science and computer tech. training into one interdisciplinary degree program. Our list of courses will be available soon, Catherine http://sirls.arizona.edu/content/esociety-new-sirls-bachelor-arts-degree-or-... Catherine F.

Dear Nishant,
I believe our BA program in Emerging Media and Communication at University of Texas at Dallas is quite close to what you envision in the digital culture degree program. More info can be found here: http://emac.utdallas.edu
All the best with your search. I'd be very interested in learning about other similar programs out there.

Dear All, We are right now trying to conceptualise what an undergraduate degree programme in Digital Cultures could look like. We have been trawling the web but largely we come across graduate programmes that offer it as a degree, and I was wondering if anybody has pointers on where to look and what to keep in mind while trying to conceptualise a degree programme like this.
Links to programmes that you think are successful, or just reminders about disciplines/stakes that need to be factored in to build a Bachelor's programme that brings in Historical Review + Critical philosophy + Media Studies + Social Science & Humanities Critique + Computing and Management skills, with a global perspective would be greatly appreciated.
If you are already running courses in this field, also, do get in touch because we are thinking of a distributed course creation, and would also be able to commission existing experts from around the world to help us do the design in the coming year or two. Warmly Nishant
