Digital Media at Georgia Tech - open for applications

The Program in Digital Media at Georgia Tech is accepting applications for enrollment in August 2017 at both the Master’s and Ph.D. levels. The deadline for Ph.D. applications is December 12 2016, the deadline for MS applications is January 9 2017.

Digital Media at Georgia Tech is the first humanities-based academic program in digital media in the US and offers one of the first doctorates in Digital Media worldwide. Hosted in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication, the program covers three core research areas:

* Knowledge and Creativity: investigates the role of digital media technologies in creative practices, learning, and the production of knowledge
* Civic Media: examines the ways in which interaction design and digital media construct and support civic life
* Arts and Entertainment: explores how digital technologies enhance, expand, and reconfigure expressive media formats and genres

Faculty and students in Digital Media come from a variety of disciplines, but all contribute to a vibrant community that integrates theory and practice to rethink design, making and criticism for media artifacts. We are united by a commitment to explore new media futures in digital and post-digital cultures.

Our Master’s degree program offers a studio and seminar-based curriculum that prepares students to take on leadership positions in a range of creative technology industries, such as interaction design, information design, games and social media.

Our Ph.D degree program provides the theoretical, practical, and professional foundation necessary for pursuing leading-edge research in either academia or industry. Doctoral students emerge as adept scholars of media as well as designers and makers in their own right. All current full-time Ph.D. students in the program are funded through Research Assistantships in the areas outlined above, fellowships, or teaching.

We will host a virtual information session via Google Hangouts for prospective students on Nov 3 4PM EST.
Prof. Janet Murray, an internationally recognized interaction designer, specializing in digital narrative and digital humanities will talk about her research in:
• Design of interactive narrative
• Experimental television prototyping
• Exploring new genres and conventions of virtual reality storytelling
