ITP is a two-year graduate program located in the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University whose mission is to explore the imaginative uses of media and technology — how they might augment, improve and bring delight and art into people’s lives. Perhaps the best way to describe us is a Center for the Recently Possible.

The ITP Thesis is taught as a class during the second year of the two-year period. Students develop an individual project or their own choosing from concept to a proof-of-concept prototype. To take an idea and make it real, students are expected to find out what they don’t know; to be ready for change, anticipate it; to follow their passions, trust their instinct; to find their own strengths and deepen them; to be willing to experiment, fail, and try again. In addition to demonstrating the specific skills that they have learned during the program, the faculty expects Thesis projects to display these qualities.
