The PhD in Human-Centered Technology, Innovation and Design is a research doctorate offered by Tandon's Technology, Culture and Society and Technology Management and Innovation departments. It trains scholars to study how new technologies reshape daily life, social norms, institutions and economies.
Students work closely with faculty supervisors whose strengths span many technology-related fields, and take a required seminar each semester during their first two years, with topics that change with the faculty leader's interests.
An optional Urban Science Doctoral Track lets students focus on urban science with the faculty of CUSP, covering complexity, informatics and sensing. Admission rests on a review of academic record, professional experience and research potential. The GRE is optional, and international students must show English proficiency.
