MASTER OF FINE ARTS IN MEDIA, TECHNOLOGY & ENTERTAINMENT
As an interdisciplinary degree, the graduate faculty are drawn from two academic programs: the School of Communication and Multimedia Studies in the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters; and the Department of Computer & Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in the College of Engineering & Computer Science. Our program explores the intersections among entertainment arts, technology and computation in order to create new, interdisciplinary models for research and development. As digital media production expands to include distributed computing facilities, industry artists and programmers are increasingly asked to collaborate. Media artists commonly encounter challenges that researchers face in scientific computing. More importantly, computation and interface design inform fundamental aspects of everyday life and are a foundational part of a broad range of industries. As an interdisciplinary collective, our faculty is able to tackle this evolving terrain and equip our students with the skills and awareness to succeed.
