Technology, Media & Society (TMS)
The modern role of technology in digital media has caused a
fundamental shift in the way our society communicates, markets and
innovates. The fusion of media and technology has disrupted and
displaced old models of innovation while simultaneously paving new
paths toward invention. As a national leader in innovation, invention
and entrepreneurship, NYU-Poly seeks to arm faculty and students with
the tools and support needed to turn their research into viable
applications, products, and services that take flight. About NYU-Poly
