The Master of Science in Information Design and Technology (IDT) at the Georgia Institute of Technology offers humanities-based advanced study in digital media design and critique. Its faculty includes leading theorists and practitioners who approach the design of digital artifacts as a defining creative and intellectual challenge of the 21st century, comparable in its cultural complexity and historical importance to the inventions of the book, the photograph, the moving image.

The diverse student body brings a wide range of cultural and disciplinary backgrounds to a studio and seminar based curriculum that prepares them for leadership positions as designers,producers, and critical analysts in a changing digital culture. Students in the program are involved in digital design and research projects through the Wesley Center for New Media of the School of Literature, Communication, and Culture, and through the interdisciplinary Graphics Visualization and Usability Center of the College of Computing.
