Program Description

Studies of Global Media (Online)

The Master of Arts in Studies of Global Media is an interdisciplinary degree that prepares students to critically examine relationships among media, the public and policy makers, and evolving events and issues around the world. Courses examine the transformation of media systems in historical and contemporary contexts. Students build analytical skills coupled with conceptual knowledge of real-time and emerging issues, such as digital inequity, surveillance, censorship, disinformation and misinformation. Students will study with faculty who have conducted research and other work for news media or other organizations around the world. Graduates will be able to step into jobs in nonprofit organizations, think tanks, government, politics, intergovernmental agencies and other entities that require sophisticated writing, analytical, verbal and research skills. Graduates with journalism experience can work in newsrooms.
