The Certificate in Documentary Media Studies is a one-year, full-time, graduate-level program for students who want to begin or advance their career in the field of documentary video or filmmaking. The program offers students small classes and intensive studies in documentary history, theory, and practice while they produce, direct, and edit an original documentary in New York City - the documentary capital of the world.
Upon completion of the program, certificate holders will be qualified to enter documentary professions through a variety of routes - documentary director/producer, documentary television business, theatrical distribution business, work with film festivals, film magazines or museums - or to continue graduate school in pursuit of an MA and/or PhD in Media, Anthropology, Film Studies, or related field.
Students who complete the Certificate in Documentary Media Studies and apply for and are admitted to the MA in Media Studies may transfer all certificate credits earned with a grade of B or above.
