Welcome to the working home of the Digital Arts and New Media MFA Program at UC Santa Cruz. This two-year graduate program enables digital media artists to explore, research and create digital art with social impact.

About DANM

digital art :: social impact

New technologies have profoundly changed contemporary culture and indelibly altered the role of the arts in society. The Digital Arts and New Media MFA Program serves as a center for the development and study of digital media and the cultures they have helped create. Faculty and students are drawn from a variety of backgrounds such as the arts, computer engineering, humanities, the sciences, and social sciences to pursue interdisciplinary artistic and scholarly research and production, in the context of a broad examination of digital arts and cultures.

This site is dedicated to the support of the DANM MFA program at UC Santa Cruz. Visit http://digitalarts.ucsc.edu for general information about the program, our faculty, and courses. We also offer an overview of the application process. The DANM program description can be found here.

• The excitement is building about DANM's new home, the Digital Arts Research Center. We'll be moving in Fall 2009! Check out the DARC here.
