Media, Culture, and Communication

专业介绍

The MA degree program trains agile researchers to think critically from diverse perspectives about changing industries, technologies, and cultures. Students work closely with our diverse and renowned media studies faculty. MCC’s research and coursework foreground the study of global media and culture, digital media and new technologies, media history and theory, visual culture, race, and politics.

While graduate courses are primarily theoretical, the Media, Culture, and Communication curriculum is flexible, allowing electives from across the University to align with students’ personal academic and professional trajectories.

Media business at NYU Stern, media law at the NYU School of Law, interactive technology at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, and media ethnography in NYU Anthropology are just some of the many elective options in addition to graduate study abroad courses in Europe, Asia, and Latin America examining media in comparative contexts.

The MA in Media, Culture, and Communication offers a theoretical foundation for examining global media within political, social, and cultural contexts. The program does not provide practical training in media production, publicity or marketing. MCC MA students can use some of their electives to enroll in such classes elsewhere at NYU, but those seeking a purely practice-based degree should consider applying to the School of Professional Studies’ MS in Integrated Marketing or MS in Public Relations, or Tisch’s MA in Interactive Media.
