<img src="img/UTDlogo-125.gif" align="left" border="0">The Arts and Technology (ATEC) program at UT Dallas, which leads to the B.A., M.A. or M.F.A., stands alone in intent, design and approach among all other degree programs in Texas. It is Texas's first comprehensive degree program to explore and foster the convergence of computer science and engineering with the creative arts and the humanities. The program fosters the development of intellectually agile graduates who combine focused expertise with imagination. The desired outcome of the program will be students who can seize and, more importantly, create opportunities for economic, social and cultural benefit to the community. The program (800 students strong) is a joint creation of the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science and the School of Arts and Humanities. ATEC is a collaborative effort that transcends existing disciplines and academic units. Beyond merely "multidisciplinary" or "interdisciplinary" in its scope, ATEC encourages the productive convergence of disparate fields and modes of thinking. It joins science with the humanities, creativity with technology, theory with practice and learning with research. The program has special area concentrations in Computer Visualization/Animation, Interaction Design, Digital Sound Design, Computer Simulation and Serious Game Design, On-line Worlds and Social Networking. <a href="http://www.leonardo.info/isast/org-membership.html">FIND OUT MORE</a>
