Global media, digital humanities, games, electronic literature…such variety is determined not only by what faculty and students offer but also through the establishment of strategic partnerships with donors and organizations. These have included Knight Foundation, Singapore’s Media Development Authority, the National Endowment for the Humanities, industry groups, and individual donors.
Undergraduates regularly have the chance to work with our research groups, through MIT’s Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program.
