Mon Nov 03 14:36:40 GMT 2014




North Carolina State University's Ph.D. program in Communication, Rhetoric, and Digital Media (CRDM) welcomes applications for the 2015-16 academic year.

Deadline for applications is JANUARY 15, 2015.

The Ph.D. Program in Communication, Rhetoric, and Digital Media prepares doctoral students to analyze the social, cultural, and political dimensions of information technologies, new communication media, and digital texts and to actively engage with digital media through research, criticism, production, and practice. Students work with program faculty from the departments of Communication and English and with affiliated faculty from departments across the university to study oral, written, visual, computational, and multimodal forms of communication, rhetoric and digital media; to examine the transformation of communication in the context of digital media; and to address the theoretical challenges of innovative, interdisciplinary research.

Following the core seminars of the program, students create their own areas of focus in close consultation with our faculty. Recent choices include:
• Computer-mediated communication
• Digital games and gaming communities
• Visual rhetoric
• Mobile communication
• Digital Humanities
• Writing for new media
• Scientific communication
• Technology and pedagogy
• History and Theory of Digital Media

Our students additionally engage in interdisciplinary opportunities at NC State University, around the neighboring Research Triangle Park, and internationally. The CRDM’s CIRCUIT Studio is among several hands-on facilities for physical computing and digital media work along with the cutting-edge spaces and technology services at the NCSU Libraries. Starting in Fall 2015, CRDM students will also have an opportunity to pursue a graduate certificate in digital humanities in tandem with their own research trajectory. Our students have an excellent academic and professional placement rate, having found tenure-track positions at Michigan State University, Rochester Institute of Technology, University of North Texas, DePaul University, Nanyang Technology University (Singapore), and industry positions as well.

For comprehensive information about the program, faculty, and students, please see the CRDM website: http://crdm.chass.ncsu.edu.
