Announcing the First Annual Open House for Prospective Students at the MIT Media Lab

Join us on Monday, October 31, 2011 to learn more about the MIT Media Lab's graduate degree programs.  This open house will give prospective students the opportunity to meet Media Lab faculty and students and learn about Media Lab research.

The MIT Media Lab offers a graduate experience like no other, allowing students to shape the future of technology by conducting creative, cutting-edge, and interdisciplinary research. It is one of the few places in the world where leading scientists, designers, and engineers — in fields as diverse as robotics, art, neuroscience, and education — work together to revolutionize how humans experience, and can be aided by, technology.

Each graduate student works in one of the Media Lab’s 25 research groups under the guidance of a primary research advisor (see http://admissions.media.mit.edu/admissions/research).  Students come from a wide variety of backgrounds including, but not limited to: computer science, psychology, electrical engineering, music, mechanical engineering, graphic design, and architecture.  All Media Lab graduate students receive full financial support (tuition, medical insurance, and a stipend) in the form of Research Assistantships and must apply to the Media Arts and Sciences (MAS) Department at MIT.
