Communication, Culture and Technology (CCT) is an interdisciplinary Master of Arts Program focusing on challenges posed by new technologies in a range of fields, including research, government, politics, arts, media, communication, business, health, and medicine. By cutting across institutional and disciplinary boundaries, students develop new solutions caused by complex problems. They develop knowledge and conceptual tools to assume leadership roles in business, policy and academic sectors that must function within a rapidly growing information society and keep pace with technological change. 1. Technology CCT students gain grounding in the history and mechanics of technology. They assemble heterogeneous methods and theories to look into the development of technologies and examine how they are shaping our world. Students acquire practical knowledge of information and communication technologies so that they can work in technology-related fields. 2. Interdisciplinary Problem-Solving Technology interacts with communication and culture in complex ways that go beyond the boundaries of individual disciplines. CCT students learn to ask questions and address problems related to communications and technology that integrate disciplinary traditions, theoretical frameworks, methodological approaches, and styles of argument. 3. Theory to Practice Students are challenged to study theoretical frameworks and apply them to puzzles in the way that new technologies interact with communication and culture. They move fluidly between theoretical models and real world outcomes to use theory and evidence in problem-solving. 4. Methodology Students learn to employ methods conducive to studying established and emerging communication technologies. They have the opportunity to learn a variety of quantitative and qualitative approaches that are applicable across disciplines. These include statistical methods, survey research, content analysis, interview techniques, focus groups, participant observation, archival research, social network analysis, case studies, discourse analysis, hermeneutics, semiotics, media sociology techniques, digital story-telling, ethnography, experimental design, new/digital media studies techniques, and more. They break new ground by exploring and developing new methodologies for analyzing communications phenomena that make use of digital technologies.
