Well, thanks for (some of) the responses -- it's been a busy few months. I've actually decided not to apply to schools this year, part of which is because I'll be expanding my portfolio with some new releases this Spring, and part is just because there isn't enough information out there. It seems like I'm really going to have to do some digging/visiting to figure out any real info about what these programs are like. @Kiripin -- Good luck! Thanks for the info on Cali schools, but I'm only interested in programs at major research institutions (personal preference), which rules out most of the "Art" colleges. For this reason RISD will probably come off the list. @BeepBeatums -- Great suggestion on NYU's ITP program, right on, but frankly I'm just not very interested in New York. It'd be great if more contributions on this topic (and new subforum) started coming out. There seems to be a dearth of good (experiential) info about Digital Arts programs in general. Cheers!

Hi everyone, I'm a recent grad from a top Ivy League School where I majored in English and was part of a selective Creative Writing program with a focus in Fiction. I wrote my senior English thesis on a topic in Digital Literature and also completed a special project in this area, which got me to thinking. I'm considering applying to programs in New Media, Electronic Writing, Digital Arts, Interactive Media, etc. Does anyone have advice as to pursuing the MFA in any of these fields? I'm particularly interested in USC's Ph.D because it's so interdisciplinary. I'd love to be in California, especially after doing my undergrad on the East Coast. Schools/Programs I'm looking at: Brown -- Electronic Writing MIT -- Media Lab (High-Low Tech, Lifelong Kindergarten, Changing Places) University of Southern California -- Interactive Media & Interdisciplinary Media Arts & Practice Ph.D University of California
