chzhenl Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I am currently thinking to apply to the MA prgram of MCC in NYU. But I am wondering what the courses and people are like there. Would the program be very theoratical, or professional-oriented, or else? Considering that my own interest of field lies on media studies, like new media, media convergence, etc, and also commercial communication, would this program be to theoratical for me? Also I heard that it is quite expensive to live in dorms in NYU, if true, anyone knows any ways to deal with the accomodations? Thanks for anyone who answers.

NOWAYNOHOW Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) I just finished my first term with MCC at NYU. I'm pretty happy with the program--it is very theoretical, I wouldn't recommend it for people looking for professional media industry prep. You can PM me if you have more questions.

troll crackers Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Is it true they only accept 6 people? I think I read something about this in one of the other threads on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your reply!! I've been waiting for a reply for too long! What's your field of study then? Actually I am not afraid of being theoratical, I think I would prefer something that involve both serious academic research and practical topics, you know. I once did a small research on selective exposure, a concept that hypothesizes that people's previous experience would affect their media choice. That's the kind of thing I want, which I think is very interesting:) Do you know if the MCC in NYU has any faculty on the direction of media studies or my field of interest, like converging media or new media studies? I went through the website of MCC and seemingly found little information about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't scare me, man...But I read on their website which says that they have a class capacity of 140 students? Am I looking at the wrong thing?...

dknows Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 140 is perhaps their MA cohort. PhD was logged at 6 last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
