The Digital Media Graduate Program at Georgia Tech, with its home in the School of Literature, Media,
\nand Communication, is the oldest humanities-based academic program in digital media in the country and
\noffers one of the first PhDs in digital media worldwide. It offers a unified studio-intensive curriculum that
\nintegrates theory and practice and is taught by a uniquely strong group of theorist-practitioner faculty
\nmembers. In addition, students in the program regularly take courses with faculty in related fields such as
\nComputing, Human Computer Interaction, Music Technology, Architecture, Industrial Design, Cognitive
\nScience, Psychology, and Public Policy. We also offer a joint M.S. degree in HCI.<\/p>\n
Faculty in the program include leading researchers in critical theory, interaction design, information
\ndesign, digital art and design, experimental media, game studies, interactive narrative, machinima, mixed
\nreality, tangible media, cognition & computing, and educational computing. http:\/\/dm.gatech.edu\/people\/

Students come from a variety of educational and professional backgrounds and from an international
\npool. MS students have had internships and\/or jobs at companies such as Yahoo, Entertainment Arts,
\nGoogle, Amazon, Intel, IBM, and Showtime, and some have gone on to do PhD work at Georgia Tech or
\nelsewhere.<\/p>\n
The PhD program currently numbers 23 students and 7 graduates drawn from first rank programs in a
\nwide range of disciplines, whose research specialties include: Information & Interaction Design, Digital Art
\n& Design, Experimental Game Design, Interactive Narrative, Experimental Television, Mixed Reality,
\nPhysical Computing, Embodied Interaction, Media Theory, and History & Criticism. Although we are open
\nto applications from students with Bachelor degrees, so far all students admitted to our PhD program
\nhave had Masters degrees before coming to Georgia Tech. Some applicants have been initially admitted
\nto the DM MS program and have later been accepted into the PhD program. Graduates of the PhD
\nprogram are prepared for research and teaching careers in the fast growing number of digital media
\nacademic programs or for work in industry research labs.<\/p>\n
