G-CMAC-PHD - Computational Media, Arts & Cultures - PhD

The program requires students to engage in both critical and historical study of computational media and to have an active computational media practice.  This may take the form of digital art, data analysis, design, programming, or some combination of these.  Over the course of the program of study, students are expected to take a mix of graduate seminars in the participating programs, as well as practice-based courses where appropriate, and to participate in one or more labs formally or informally.

All students are expected to take language exams in one “human” and one “computer” language, with specific expectations set based on the individual students’ preparation and program of study.

The qualifying exams take place at the end of the third year, and include a portfolio as well as written and oral examinations.

The dissertation includes both formal written and practice-based dimensions.
