The explosion of iPhone’s app store, Facebook, podcasts, Wii, Twitter, and user-generated content sites like YouTube signal the 21st century’s decisive triumph of digital media over analog. Scholarly theories have paralleled their meteoric rise, as has the creation of academic programs claiming authority in the field of new media. Still, few of those programs unite theory and practice the way NYU-Poly does.

That blend of theory and practice defines our MS program in Integrated Digital Media. It’s a powerful combination of cutting-edge technology, creative mastery, and critical thinking. As the second oldest private institute of technology in the country, we know how to support such a mix, and we hope you take advantage of our expertise and resources. Just take a peek at our Brooklyn Experimental Media Center (BxmC) and the CITE Game Innovation Lab to see the exciting work we're developing.
