The Master of Arts degree in Media and Cinema Studies provides students with the critical skills, historical grounding, and research methodologies for understanding the cultural and social impact of film, television and digital media in our globalized world. Our graduate seminar classes investigate current media-related topics through interdisciplinary perspectives.

The program is designed for those seeking to prepare for a Ph.D. program or to further their careers in the film, television and digital media fields. There is also a five-year B.A./M.A. option for  DePaul undergraduate students.
