Engage in active analysis of the cultural, political, and individual worlds that are formed through media technologies and practices. The Culture and Media program at Lang analyzes media as it relates to and affects diverse dimensions of culture, including politics, economics, business, education, art, and entertainment. Gain the critical research and production tools you need to understand historical and contemporary media landscapes and cultural narratives.
Lang Culture and Media students and faculty are committed to understanding and decoding the ways in which a diverse array of media influence our daily lives as well as the impact that we, both as individuals and collectively, can have on the cultural and political climates that surround us.
Through a combination of theory and practice, our students - as scholars, writers, filmmakers, artists, and designers - learn the critical thinking and making skills to actively engage in the process of world-making across three thematic areas:
The New School also hosts numerous special events related to media and culture, including screenings, talks by industry leaders, and opportunities for you to showcase your work.
Our campus location in the heart of Greenwich Village gives you direct access to a wealth of opportunities and resources in this global center of culture and media. Media and Culture students have interned for leading media outlets including The Colbert Report, MTV, the New Yorker, Paramount, HBO, Sony Entertainment, and other media and cultural organizations.
The rapidly changing global communications environment calls for professionals trained to analyze and create media arts and studies. A degree in Culture and Media Studies can lead to a successful career in film, television, print and web-based media, and other forms of entertainment. Potential professional roles include production, screenwriting, curatorship, cultural programming, content creation, design, public relations, marketing, journalism, as well as film, arts, and cultural criticism.
