The university's history of social and political engagement and New York's inexhaustible supply of people, places, and events to document make the Media Studies program at The New School an ideal place to study documentary. Students focusing in Documentary Studies explore the art and history of documentary and investigate and help shape its emerging forms. Through methods and media practice courses, students create documentaries in myriad formats—audio, video, web-based, and multi-format.
