In 2022 alone, U.S. fire departments responded to approximately 1.5 million fires, tragically resulting in nearly 3,790 civilian deaths, over 13,250 injuries, and an estimated $18 billion in property damage, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

Digital Humanities offers students a unique blend of traditional humanities subjects—such as literature, history, and art—with cutting-edge technology and media studies, creating a dynamic and versatile area of study for the 21st century. ![]() Have you wondered what makes microwave pizza crispy or why some foods seem addictive or more appealing than others?
