kilene Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Hello After weeks of research, I concluded that I would need a MA degree to get in to my dream Phd programs in the future. I have a BA in film and my interests are kind of all over the place but it's mostly: media studies, cultural theory, transnational art, and visual studies. I don't have much background in either sociology or anthropology, but I am hoping to draw more insight from these fields in addition to my undergrad film background in my graduate studies. Some programs I've been looking into are: LSE Global communications USC Critical studies MA UCLA Film and media studies MA NYU Media, culture and communication MA WUSTL American Culture Studies MA UW Madison Communication Arts-Media and cultural studies MA CMU Literary and cultural studies MA My dream programs would be Brown MCM or Stanford MTL but since they only offer Phd tracks, I'm not sure if I'll even try applying this year. Anyone have recommendations on a good MA program other than the ones I listed? I'd greatly appreciate any comments on the programs I already have in mind as well. Thanks!

hj2012 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 You might also look at the MA in Liberal Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center or the MA in Cultural Studies at Stonybrook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbodi Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) I have heard that Boston University has a good program in Media Studies and/or Film and Television Studies. I don't know about funding (many MAs in Film/Media Studies are largely unfunded, I think - at least that was my case), but a few former Boston University students I have spoken to went on to PhD programs such as the Critical Studies program at USC. University of Texas at Austin also has a Media Studies program that I have heard good things about. A friend of mine recently applied for 2014 admission.
