For any students who have taken DCS courses and are thinking about graduate study, here are a few institutions that are currently inviting applications:<\/p>\n
University of California: MS and PhD in Computational Media<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n From their promotional materials: Computational Media is all around us \u2014 video games, social media, interactive narrative, smartphone apps, computer-generated films, personalized health coaching, and more. To create these kinds of media, to deeply understand them, to push them forward in novel directions, requires a new kind of interdisciplinary thinker and maker. The new graduate degrees in Computational Media at UC Santa Cruz are designed with this person in mind.<\/p>\n http:\/\/graddiv.ucsc.edu\/prospective-students<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.soe.ucsc.edu\/departments\/computational-media<\/p>\n University of Amsterdam: MA in New Media and Digital Culture From their promotional email: The MA Program in Media Studies: New Media and Digital Culture offers a comprehensive and critical approach to new media research, practices and http:\/\/bit.ly\/NMDC_Call1718<\/a><\/p>\n Duke University: MA in Digital Art History\/Computational Media From their promotional email: The Department of Art, Art History & Visual Studies offers a Master’s Degree in Digital Art History\/ Computational Media. The eighteen-month program builds on courses and well-developed strengths at Duke University. The program requires 10 courses over three semesters in addition to summer research. Limited funding may become available in the form of grants and assistantships to students contingent upon positive progress in the program.<\/p>\n The Digital Art History track integrates historical disciplines and the study of cultural artifacts with digital visualization techniques for the analysis and presentation of research. This track prepares students for future work in such fields as art, architectural and urban history, public The Computational Media track is designed for graduate students focused on the study, creation, and use of digital media and computation in the arts and humanities. This track explores research and presentation strategies enabled by the information sciences, new approaches to computational processes, and new forms of interpreting quantitative and qualitative data.

\nand Social Media Lab <http:\/\/casmlab.org> at Illinois Tech. We\u2019re currently studying hyperlocal social networks, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and related social media platforms in order to understand social media’s role in civic engagement and to reduce cyberbullying. We use interviews, participatory design, machine learning, and natural language processing in
\nour research. Students in the lab will enroll in the PhD program in Technology and Humanities <http:\/\/humansciences.iit.edu\/humanities\/programs\/graduate-programs\/phd-technology-humanities<\/a>>.
\nYou can learn more about our social media and civic engagement project on the lab\u2019s website <http:\/\/www.casmlab.org\/research\/<\/a>>. This project is supported by the National Science Foundation <http:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/awardsearch\/showAward?AWD_ID=1525662&HistoricalAwards=false<\/a>> and includes at least one year of full tuition and stipend support for qualified students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
