| Description | SIAT's graduate program focuses on the technological change that is radically reshaping our world today. We believe that intellectual diversity and multiple perspectives are essential to address such change. Views and research traditions from design, art, the humanities, science and technology are all part of our community. We offer Master of Arts, Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Admission to the program depends on prior academic preparation, intended focus of study, and identified fit and supervisory agreement with one of our research faculty members. The PhD is awarded for a relevant and original contribution to knowledge as expressed in a dissertation. PhD students study in an area supported by SIAT's faculty and under the direction of a supervisory committee.
