Overview

With advanced training in digital design and production software, individuals can secure employment and excel in their respective fields.

The Emerging Media programme at Rutgers University integrates research and creative expertise from faculty members across disciplines. Rather than separating research and creative activities, the programme emphasizes their fusion, equipping students with a diverse skill set that combines research design and execution with media production. By viewing media production as an integral part of the research process, the programme prepares students to tackle real-world challenges.

Key facts

The curriculum focuses on the practical aspects (“how”) and the ethical considerations (“why”) of digital media production. Students learn not only the technical skills required for polished digital projects but also gain a deep understanding of the ethical impact of digital artifacts on society. The programme encourages students to explore diverse disciplinary perspectives, melding insights, and research methods to address design and communication challenges using emerging media.
