The media, architecture and computing program provides an interdiscplinary curriculum that begins in the first year with an emphasis on introducing the ideas, techniques and methods fundamental to the field of inquiry. In the same year a studio component provides the context to tie this knowledge and skillset to collaborative work. The second year opens the student up to more independent choices through electives, by which students begin to define their areas of focus. The third and final year incorporates directed research resulting in an independent thesis project.
