Program Overview

Media, Art, Culture, and Technology

Overview

The Advanced Graduate Certificate Program in Media, Art, Culture, and Technology (MACT) offers graduate students an interdisciplinary grounding in the historical and theoretical study of media, art, culture, and technology. The MACT graduate certificate is designed to complement a graduate student’s primary degree by supporting research that traverses traditional academic methods and objects of inquiry in the humanities.

Certificate Requirements

• 15-Credit Requirement: The Certificate is awarded upon completion of five MACT-eligible courses, or fifteen-credits, which may also be counted toward degree requirements in the student’s home department. Eligible courses must use humanistic methods of critical inquiry to engage topics at the intersection of media, art, technology, and culture.
• Interdisciplinary Requirement: Students may count a maximum of three courses listed within their home department/program toward the graduate certificate; at least two of the five courses counted for credit in MACT must be listed outside the graduate student’s home department or program. Also, at least three different departments or programs must be represented among the five courses that are counted for credit toward the MACT certificate.
• Curriculum: To be eligible for credit toward the certificate, a course must be taught in a CAS department or program, engage in critical inquiry through the lens of the arts and humanities, significantly address intersections of media, art, culture, and technology, and be open to enrollment by students outside the listing department/program.
