As the undergraduate division of the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, our Bachelor of Science program offers students the opportunity to work with internationally recognized faculty. Our academically rigorous degree is grounded in the liberal arts, providing students with the critical thinking skills necessary to understand the sociological, political and cultural aspects of communication technologies and systems.

Fields of Study

Within the broad framework of communication, our undergraduates focus their coursework via specialized fields of study. This component of the curriculum provides both structure and flexibility to suit students’ individual interests and goals. Students select 3 courses within 2 of the following fields:

• Globalization and Cultural Production
• Images and Screen Studies
• Interaction and Social Processes
• Persuasion and Politics
• Technology and Society

Practical Experience

On campus, there are student newspapers, an on-campus television station, NYU-TV; a student radio station, WNYU; and state-of-the-art computing facilities, to name just a few of the resources available to students here at Washington Square. Beyond the classroom, students employ our broad internship network to gain valuable work experience in New York City, the media capital of the world.

Global Programs

Today, students need an international perspective to compete successfully in our global society. Our students typically spend a semester at one of the various NYU study abroad campuses. Additionally, they can study media and globalization through our program's intensive summer courses in Europe and Asia.
