Title

Certificate Program in Culture and Media

Description

NYU's Program in Culture and Media is interdisciplinary in nature and brings together theory, research, and production for graduate students in the Departments of Anthropology and Cinema Studies. The program is run in cooperation with the Film and Television School. The Program Certificate requires the completion of eight courses (four in production and four in theory/history) and an original film/video ethnographic documentary or other scholarly project. The Certificate Program prepares students for film and video production of ethnographic documentaries; research and analysis of media practices using ethnographic methodologies; and writing, teaching and analysis of ethnographic screen history, theory and production. Graduate students who leave with a Masters and a Certificate have gone into careers in documentary film production, film programming, archival research and management, as well as work in media departments of museums. Graduate students who leave with a Ph.D. have gone into academic careers in anthropology or media studies that are conducive to ongoing production activity.
