The MTS doctoral program is an innovative, interdisciplinary, and flexible
curriculum focusing on the dynamic media and technology environment and its
impact. The program encourages students to pursue their passion by
designing individualized programs of study that incorporate relevant
classes from across Northwestern University. The program faculty are
internationally renowned for their research in areas such as:
Children’s development
Digital media use and effects
Health and well-being
Human-computer Interaction
Innovation and change
Media institutions
Networks and Organizations
Social media
The MTS faculty undertake research in these areas using a wide array of
traditional and innovative research methods. In addition, they actively
pursue opportunities to make positive economic, cultural, and social impact
through their research in businesses, nonprofit, and government agencies.
In recent years, MTS alumni have gone on to work at the University of
Illinois, University of Missouri, Chinese University of Hong Kong,
University of Chicago, University of Costa Rica, University of North
Carolina at Charlotte, RTI International, and Facebook.
As we continue to grow, we seek to recruit students from a variety of
backgrounds in social and behavioral sciences, human-computer interaction,
humanities, and historical and cultural studies. We are particularly
interested in students who can thrive within an interdisciplinary
environment, and bring to their graduate education a passion for research
and innovation.
