The graduate certificate in emergent technologies and media arts practices (ETMAP) is a 9-credit-hour certificate program that is open to any student pursuing a graduate degree in any department at CU Boulder. In the program, students integrate media practices, theories and innovations in art and technology into their research. Students both experiment with and research the media and artistic practices that they study. The program will be of particular interest to students whose media research is practice-led and students who wish to integrate media arts practices into their research.
