This is an exciting time to work in educational media. Rapid changes in technology are reshaping learning, opening up opportunities for greater collaboration and creativity in teching and learning.

Our M.A., Advanced Certificate, and Ph.D. programs in educational media prepare professionals to take the lead in designing, evaluating, using, and studying technology-based learning environments.

Master of Arts and Advanced Certificate

• Participate in project-based interdisciplinary curricula that draw on cognitive and learning sciences, developmental models of learning, and social learning theory for designing educational environments.
• Use established and emergent digital media to create computer-based learning experiences and content for different age groups.
• Experiment with simulations, games, problem-solving challenges, story-based and case-based environments, documentaries, public service programs, as well as online, synchronous, and asynchronous forms of collaboration.
• Develop expertise in instructional design, prototyping and evaluation, and project management through internships and a final master's thesis.
• Join our graduates who work as educational media producers, instructional writers, designers, and trainers and as educational technology administrators and coordinators with such employers as TimeLine Film & Video, Christie's, Oxford University Press, Designed2Learn, the World Bank, New York Hall of Science, and schools and universities throughout the country.

Ph.D. Program

• Engage in research about multimedia environments and how they affect learning.
• Ground your studies in cognitive science and other fields such as communication design, information design, multimedia learning theory, human-computer interaction, human symbolization, and aesthetics.
• Determine the instructional technology, theory, and research directions you wish to pursue in this flexible curriculum.
• Participate in research projects with faculty through Steinhardt's Consortium for Research and Evaluation of Advanced Technologies in Education (CREATE), Games for Learning Institute, and other NYU centers.
• Join graduates who work as scholars and researchers in educational media at universities and colleges here and abroad and in private and non-profit settings, including Pixar Animation Studio in Los Angeles, and the Center for Children and Technology and the Center for Educational Partnerships, both in New York City.
