Media Studies
Media shape our view of the world and orient us in it. You can best navigate this environment by marrying theory and practice. In Media Studies, you’ll examine the influence of advertising and ideology, the political economy of media corporations, and the principles of multimedia design. You’ll also benefit from our interdisciplinary curriculum, learning across subjects from the humanities to the sciences.

"What I enjoy most about the Cultural Studies program is the way that you can learn all of the theoretical stuff behind all these things that are all around us that you might not really know is happening, but you also get the hands on feel of workshops and learning how to use practical technology such as digital audio work stations, filing, video editing, camera work, all that kind of stuff."
