Figure 19.1. This bar chart presents the distribution of undergraduate students against the percentage of digital humanities programs in the United States across six different classification categories. Those categories, running left to right across the horizontal axis are “For Profit,” “Private, research-focused”, “Private, teaching-focused,” “Public, teaching-focused,” “Public, research-focused,” and “Public, two-year.” The vertical axis displays percentages in increments of ten.
The “For Profit,” category includes 3.6 percent of undergraduates and no DH Centers. “Private, research-focused” schools have 6.6 percent of the undergraduate share but retain 16.7 percent of DH programs. While ten percent of undergraduates attend “Private, teaching-focused” schools, those schools have no DH programs. “Public, teaching-focused” schools represent 15.9 percent of undergraduates and 4 percent of DH programs. “Public, research-focused” schools represent 25.4 percent of undergraduates and 70.8 percent of DH programs. Last, at “Public, two-year” institutions there are no DH programs though they represent 34.6 percent of undergraduates.
Figure 19.2. This bar chart compares first-generation students against continuing-generation students in six different degree categories: Nondegree, Associates, Technical School, BA, MA, and PhD. The degree categories run left to right across the horizontal axis with the vertical axis showing percentages in increments of ten.
In nondegree programs 75.6 percent are first-generation students and 24.4 continuing-generation students. In the Associates degree programs, 69.9 percent are first-generation students and 30.1 are continuing-generation students. For Technical School, 63.8 percent are first-generation students and 36.2 are continuing-generation students. In BA programs, 49.6 percent are first-generation students and 50.4 are continuing-generation students. In MA programs, there is an even 50 percent split between first- and continuing-generation students. In PhD programs, 36.4 percent are first-generation students and 63.6 are continuing-generation students.
