Grad school programs like NYU/Tisch Interactive Telecommunications Program
October 20, 2011 3:21 PM

Are there comparable grad programs to NYU's Interactive Telecommunications (ITP) on the west coast?

I'm applying to the inITP for next fall, but I live out in Los Angeles. I'm familiar with similar programs in NYC & Pittsburgh but not out west.

Is anyone familiar with programs that explore communication technology in a similar way on the west coast? Preferably in SF or Seattle.

Thanks!

Do you know about DXArts at the University of Washington? My understanding is that their program is more art-based than ITP, and the admission requirements are focused on students coming from a fine art background, but that may have changed.

Two that come to mind: DANM at UC Santa Cruz, and MAT at UC Santa Barbara. Previously. As an ITP alum and adjunct, however, I must aver: you will find no other program to be comparable.

More north than you might have considered, but not that far from Seattle: The School of Interactive Arts and Technology at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver.

The basic health plan is covered if you're a TA and the extended health plan (dental, glasses) is $400 for the year.

Again, see question above: What do you want out of this degree?

hey everybody,

i'm looking for two things mainly:

1. reorientation of my career. i'm currently work in advertising for technology & thew work leaves me feeling restless about making derivative things rather than the thing itself, if that makes sense

2. creative fulfillment. i've been interested in the Maker culture & figuring out 'how stuff works' since I was a kid. i'm looking for an environment to develop skills & collaborate with other people passionate about making things
