Department of Film and Media Studies
With a world class faculty and up-to-date production facilities, Hunter College's Department of Film & Media Studies offers two undergraduate programs of study. One program leads toward a major in Film, combining film history and theory with film production. The other leads toward a major in Media Studies, combining critical media analysis with creative practice using a mix of contemporary media forms (video, print, digital graphics and the Internet).
The Department of Film and Media Studies offers programs in the production and critical analysis of film, mass media, and alternative media. It provides a wide range of courses in the production of film, video, print and broadcast journalism, radio, graphics, and new digital media. Analytical courses are offered on the theory, history, interpretation, structure, and criticism of contemporary media. Courses are designed to engage students analytically and creatively with social, cultural, and aesthetic issues in contemporary media practice.
Analytical courses provide students with a broad base in critical thinking. Courses deal with subjects such as the history and aesthetics of film, video, and television; genre studies; the production and distribution of print and broadcast news; the representation of race, class, and gender in various media; domestic and international policy and regulatory issues in print, broadcasting, telecommunications, and new media; Hollywood's past and present configurations; and the intricate relationships between the mass media, popular culture, and society.
In addition, Hunter College now offers a graduate program terminating in an MFA degree in Integrated Media Arts. Hunter's MFA/IMA "Integrated Media Arts" is a unique MFA program which focuses on politically and socially engaged creative work and the social role of media and technology. Our program educates multi-disciplinary media professionals, socially aware and competent in the diverse range media skills that are being brought together in a digital media environment.
