What Makes DCC Unique

DCC is one of the most interdisciplinary programs in the country. We bring together students from 46 different majors on campus from a wide range of backgrounds. DCC fosters an open, collaborative, and social environment that encourages students to explore the relationship between emerging media, society, and creative practices.

We are passionate about emerging technologies and their impact on the world; but even more importantly, how our contributions to emerging technologies can change the world. DCC students are innovative thinkers and makers who engage in research and collaborative projects on topics as varied as identity, connectivity, social justice, art, design, and all things creative in an era when digital media links us on a scale unprecedented in human history.

I am now studying Tech Policy at Harvard Law School because of my time in DCC. During my freshman year we studied issues around internet accessibility and the digital divide, which gave me a passion for pursuing policies that can create a more just world for internet access.
