The MAS Ph.D.: Transdisciplinary Graduate Education in Media Arts and Sciences

The School of Arts, Media and Engineering (AME) offers a Ph.D. in Media Arts and Sciences (MAS), which is jointly conferred by the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts and the Ira. A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. MAS Ph.D. students learn to translate, transport and combine knowledge across disciplines as they develop innovative experiential media systems and accompanying theoretical models. The degree structure includes transdisciplinary media courses through AME, elective course credits that complement the student's research interests, and substantial research and dissertation hours devoted to collaborative research within the AME network.

Students with undergraduate training in any related art, science, engineering or humanities field are welcome to apply for admission to this degree. Applicants should have a track record that demonstrates interest and potential in transdisciplinary media training and should be comfortable in a computational environment.
