Master of Arts - Communication and Media - Media and Popular Culture

The Communication and Media master's program reflects the breadth of communication today. Students will be immersed in coursework that emphasizes new media and technology, collaboration in teams and organizations, diversity and inclusion, social change and social impact.

The Media and Popular Culture concentration provides students with the necessary critical skills, historical grounding, and research methodologies for interpreting the cultural and social impact of popular media (television, film, radio, and social and digital media) in our globalized society. Students will learn how to analyze shifting patterns of production and consumption of popular culture, and to contextualize these changes within broader historical and theoretical frameworks.

This concentration will be of interest to those seeking to prepare for a PhD program or to further their careers in the film, television and digital media fields.
