The MA in Media Studies is a 30-credit program combining theory, practice and real-world engagement. We are a community of activists, makers, artists and researchers working to effect social change through media, as well as to understand the impact of media and technology on culture and society.

Mission
The Media Studies community at Queens College works under the assumption that media is no longer a particular vocation but the landscape in which our society is developing. Its impact and effects are far-reaching, yet little understood - especially by those creating the content and building the platforms on which we all depend. This program is meant to restore human agency and conscious intervention to the study and practice of media and media arts, with a particular focus on activism, race and gender, environmentalism, the political economy, and social change.
