The Computational Media, Arts & Cultures (CMAC) PhD program at Duke University is a small, experimental, and interdisciplinary program focused on the intersection of media arts with humanities, sciences, and technology. The program encourages a blend of theoretical exploration and practical application. CMAC collaborates with various departments and research initiatives, including Art, Art History & Visual Studies, the Literature Program, the Franklin Humanities Institute, and Information Science + Studies. The program aims to foster research that critically engages with contemporary media landscapes, computational processes, and cultural expressions. Students will have the opportunity to work within specialized labs that focus on areas such as digital art history, virtual reality, speculative sensation, and community-focused digital projects.
Tuition and fee details for graduate programs are managed by the Duke University Graduate School.
