Why Media Arts and Sciences?

  • All graduate students are fully supported financially (tuition/medical insurance, plus a stipend).
  • One of the best graduate programs in the country, offering unique opportunities to do creative, cutting-edge research.
  • Radically interdisciplinary program–students’ academic backgrounds range from computer science to psychology, music to graphic design, architecture to mechanical engineering, and more!

We know that true innovation is fostered through diversity. As such, students from underrepresented groups (women, minorities, and first-generation students) are encouraged to register.
