New Media and Culture Certificate

The New Media and Culture Certificate (NMCC) is an interdisciplinary graduate certificate that brings together the creative opportunities possible in a range of degree programs at the University of Oregon. The NMCC blends scholarly research on new media with the experience of creating new media content or using digital tools for research. The NMCC serves as a hub for UO graduate students and scholars engaged in likeminded work who are often isolated within traditional disciplines.
