An evolving world demands media leaders with a command of new technologies, the creativity of a storyteller, and a deep understanding of the issues challenging people and the planet. The media studies community here operates at the intersection of intellectual rigor and creative and technological innovation. Our graduate programs are among the first of their kind in the world, having their origin in the Center for Understanding Media, established in 1975. Today we are part of The New School, a comprehensive university where emergent media practice and an awareness of media history come together to bring about positive change in the world.
