The University of Virginia’s Department of Media Studies offers a two-year Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in Media, Culture & Technology. This program provides opportunities for advanced studies in the history of media and communications technologies, exposure to a wide range of theorizations of how these technologies shape individual and collective experience in modern society, and high-level training in the research methods that allow practitioners to identify and analyze contemporary media-related issues confronting businesses, policymakers, and the public. Students will graduate with a comprehensive understanding of the historical roots of pressing questions surrounding media technologies and infrastructures, and will take with them skills that will allow them to bring a deep understanding of the field of media studies to bear on a variety of careers and social contexts.
