Beschreibung des Programms

Imagine turning your passion for movies into an academic career. The Media Studies program at Mercy College offers a concentration in Film/Culture that interprets various societies through the movies they produce.

The Film/Culture concentration presents you with the opportunity to study films and how they reflect the broader culture. Additionally, students also explore how films have influenced society throughout history in various world cultures from Hollywood and beyond. This concentration engages students to think, speak, and write about film/culture and film history while considering theoretical approaches to film making.

The Media Studies program is designed for the student who works well in a communal environment and is interested in sharing ideas to facilitate a creative experience.
