ICV Master program - Call for student applications
The Master program in International Cognitive Visualization (ICV) is now accepting applications from students eager to study this new field in three countries.
Objectives ICV is a 2-year
dual master's degree program. The aim of the program is to
provide students with the knowledge and skills required to
design and to deploy, to use and to study visualizations in
training, in business, industry, and government. Visualizations
refer to the 2-D and 3-D static and animated visual displays
that depict conditions, situations, processes, places or events
as they appear in maps, diagrams, graphs, pictures, schematics,
data-based spatial or linear renditions, and immersive virtual
environments.
Study program
The program builds
on the expertise of researchers in psychology and in education
from three different universities. Students will be part of an
internationally recruited cohort and successively trained at
three universities in order to become visualization specialists
who will have to be operational throughout the world,
understanding both European and North American professional
contexts. The degree is full-time only. All courses are in
English. Upon completion of the program, students earn a dual
master's degree:
· a Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary
Studies-International Cognitive Visualization emphasis from the
California State University at Chico
· a Master in the Educational
Sciences-Specialty Engineering of Training, International
Cognitive Visualization Track
from the Pierre-Mendès-France
University of Grenoble, France
Student mobility grants from the
Atlantis programme for EU-US co-operation
The ICV program
receives funding of the Atlantis programme for EU-US
co-operation in higher education and training. Selected students
will receive a grant for the year they study oversees.
Who should apply?
