The University of California, Santa Cruz welcomes applications for the 2014 Admissions Cycle for the Film & Digital Media PhD.

The program engages students through critical practice and focuses on a diverse range of cultural production; including cinema, television, video art, and Internet-based media. Program participants investigate the historical, aesthetic, political, ideological, and technological aspects of these media forms across a range of international contexts. Students are prepared for intellectually informed creative practice as well as theoretical and critical production in a range of environments, not limited to traditional academic contexts.

The flexibility of the program allows students to work closely with their advisor and the director of graduate studies to craft a personalized course of study that advances their intellectual and professional goals.
