welcome to the media studies department

Media is everywhere, and its influence is profound.

It shapes the worlds you live in. It shapes the way you live in them.

It shapes who you are.

In the Department of Media Studies, you will earn your B.A. while you learn how to "read" media from the inside out. Explore how it means, and how it changes your culture and the cultures of others.

You will learn to approach media with new eyes and with new tools for critical analysis from economic, historical, social, aesthetic, psychological, political, and ethical perspectives. 

And you will prepare for graduate study and professional work in media-related fields.
