ASU: Now accepting applications for MA Digital Culture
Lauren Hayes
The School of Arts, Media and Engineering is now accepting applications to our MA program in Digital Culture.
MA Digital Culture
The MA in Digital Culture is a program housed in the transdisciplinary School of Arts, Media and Engineering. It is geared toward practitioners of design and the arts who have an interest in engaging in scholarly knowledge creation at the intersection of computational arts and sciences and seek to enhance their practice through expanded engagement with interactive and embodied media theory and design. The degree program allows artists and designers to explore new avenues for real-time media creation that seek to go beyond current paradigms.
The School of Arts, Media and Engineering (AME) educates the next generation of learners and empowers them with technofluency–its development, application, and implications. The School of Arts, Media and Engineering prepares students to be socially aware, critically thinking global citizens who strive to bring about positive change in a society that will be increasingly shaped by revolutions in new technologies.
Students admitted into the MA Digital Culture program can pursue research at the intersection of any of these and other fields:
Acoustic Ecology
AI and Machine Learning
Auditory Culture
Critical Media Theory
Design
Digital Composition and Performance
Experiential Media
Food Design and Sensory Science

\The School of Arts, Media and Engineering
The School of Arts, Media and Engineering (AME) is built on the idea that the biggest and most important challenges require transdisciplinary approaches. AME and the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts embody an institutional philosophy to “fuse intellectual disciplines”. Our graduate programs offer students unique opportunities to work with faculty who have diverse academic specializations with deep knowledge and skills in complementary areas.
AME hosts state-of-the art facilities, including multiple motion analysis labs, black box performance spaces with infrastructure for sensing, audio and visual playback, a sound research lab, a technology development lab, a visual media lab, a BSL-1 certified design studio, and a large fabrication/maker space for students to ignite their creativity in their projects. We use cutting edge equipment for hardware and software development, and provide access for students to check out items as they are needed.
Arizona State University is a world leading Research-1 University. The School of Arts, Media and Engineering is located on the Tempe campus in Arizona, within the larger Phoenix metropolitan area. Tempe is a growing Sonoran desert city and is rapidly attracting and originating a wide range of technologically focused innovation in the public and private sectors.
