The one-year, 30-credit master's program in mediaXarts: Cinema for New Technologies and Environments prepares students for professions in the creative design industries, interaction design for public organizations, and emergent cinematic art forms, including interactive cinema, projection design, media installation, user experience design, design for mobile media, net art, and social media. The mediaXarts M.A. program interfaces with the full range of Media Arts B.F.A., M.A., and M.F.A. curricula at Temple University, which are among the leading programs for interdisciplinary, alternative, and emerging media arts. The mediaXarts program trains artists who seek to challenge cinematic and arts conventions through narrative, non-narrative, and hybrid forms, including interactive installation, projection design for performance and architecture, mobile media app design, digital animation, game design, interactive fabrication, and new media studies. The curriculum engages the exciting interdisciplinary contexts of Temple's Center for the Performing and Cinematic Arts and Philadelphia's thriving arts scene.
