The curriculum for the Ph.D. in Technology, Culture and Society Program fosters a research-intensive doctoral education relevant to understanding and shaping the impact of new technologies on a complex and rapidly-changing society and its institutions. We focus on how technology shapes and molds society and culture and how, in turn, social and cultural institutions respond to those impacts.
We offer PhD candidates who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents the opportunity to apply for a low-interest loan, at 4 percent, to finance the purchase of a computer or offset the cost of living in New York City.
