Faculty and students are drawn from a variety of backgrounds such as the arts, computer science, the humanities, the sciences, and the social sciences to pursue interdisciplinary, artistic, and scholarly research and production, in the context of a broad examination of the digital arts and cultures. The MFA is a terminal degree in the arts and qualifies graduates for a variety of career paths including university-level teaching and research. Two years of intensive study culminate in the development of individual thesis papers and projects, which premiere in an annual MFA exhibition. danm.ucsc.edu | | NEW ALCHEMY is the centerpiece of DANM's 10th Anniversary Festival Saturday, April 25, 2015 It's pan-DANM-onium!
