Intermedia (M.A.)

About

The two-year (33 credit) MA degree in Intermedia is designed for graduate students interested in pursuing advanced, interdisciplinary creative work and research in areas of inquiry pertaining to arts praxis, fine arts, media arts and technologies, creative studies, and applied arts. The MA program in Intermedia shares many of the same objectives and outcomes as the MFA program but does not require a thesis. The Intermedia MA builds on the academic strengths of the Intermedia MFA degree and the cutting-edge facilities and programing of the Innovative Media, Research and Commercialization Center (IMRC Center) by offering a multifaceted set of opportunities for expanding graduate education in the arts and creative fields. The overarching goal of the Intermedia MA program is to re-envision creative teaching/ learning/ research models with an aim to resituate creative practice within larger knowledge-making practices and expand its impact and range. The program is designed to support the creation of a diverse collaborative ecology of experimental research and pedagogy.

Program Learning Outcomes

  • Develop a new research praxis based on combinations of traditional disciplines, developing applied and research skills in the arts
  • Create an interdisciplinary umbrella degree that will enable future development of interdisciplinary foci under an MA degree (arts and medicine, arts and science, arts and technology, arts and community development for example)
  • Raise awareness of current creative research and production in the state of Maine by highlighting its impact on the education, economy and quality of life for Maine, the New England region, and the nation
