The MFA in Media Arts program offers graduate film and video students an unrivaled training in interactive new media and independent film production. City College's mission of providing affordable, accessible education to all is one of the cornerstones of this unique program. With 30 majors accepted each year, students come from across the United States and throughout the world to tell their extraordinary stories that cross ethnic, social and cultural boundaries, and would probably not achieve their full impact through traditional ways. Unlike traditional film programs that follow a strict Hollywood narrative formula, the CCNY program allows students to expand the creative field by encouraging them to write for multiple genres and to fully utilize new media.
Students create provocative and visually imaginative narratives breaking new ground.
By visualizing reality in exciting new ways, students create cross-genres which integrate fictional and documentary elements. While strong narrative skills are the bedrock for this program, students are trained on cutting-edge equipment that enables them to explore how new media enhances their storytelling. Graduates of this program may pursue any number of career directions using their narrative and technological skills. Click here to check out the MFA program's website.
