ENTERTAINMENT TECHNOLOGY
Master of Entertainment Technology [with CFA and SCS]—M.E.T.
The two-year M.E.T. is jointly conferred by the College of Fine Arts and School of Computer Science. The concept behind both the Entertainment Technology Center and the M.E.T. is having technologists and fine artists work together on projects that produce artifacts intended to entertain, inform, inspire or otherwise affect an audience/guest/player/participant. We do not turn artists into technologists, or vice-versa. While some students will be able to achieve mastery in both areas, it is not our intent to have our students master “the other side.” Instead, we intend for a typical student in the program to enter with mastery or training in a specific area and spend his or her time at Carnegie Mellon learning the vocabulary, values and working patterns of the other culture.
