STEM-classified degree: graduates are eligible for 3 years of Optional Practical Training (OPT) in the USA. The Master of Science program in computer science with a concentration in media arts and sciences emphasizes research on the integration of the human physical experience with computation and digital media. Media arts and sciences researchers produce experiential media systems and models that assist the disadvantaged, empower creativity, enhance scientific discovery, evolve human ability, facilitate learning and improve quality of life. Within these application areas, researchers explore experiential construction, interaction and feedback, knowledge creation, sensing, perception and modeling. The purpose of the media arts and sciences concentration under the master's degree in computer science is to train hybrid engineering-arts graduates who get their inspiration from the arts and their methodology from computer science and engineering. Students specialize in transdisciplinary media development.
