The media mold culture and society on a global scale. Media Studies at Pratt gives students the opportunity to take courses emphasizing the study of sound, music, film, television, social media, video games, fashion, and other cultural forms that mediate our relationships to ourselves, to others, and to the world. Students interpret and evaluate media images, messages, technologies, cultures, and practices through critical frameworks that centralize issues of power, inequality, and difference. The MA in Media Studies at Pratt, offered at the Brooklyn campus, is situated in the uniquely vibrant environment of an art, design, and architecture school. Students who value both media scholarship and media practices are encouraged to apply. Classes are small and students work closely with their professors.<br><br>Our program is connected to a larger community of artists and designers on and beyond our campus who are using and producing the very media we study. Creativity or the creation of ideas, worlds, and things is a central feature of our program. Our students engage ''media'' as more than a set of technologies with which to create and share information. ''Media'' encompasses an array of cultural, social, aesthetic, and economic processes, policies, and practices that shape the ways we experience and interpret the world. In other words, we understand media creation and media forms to be world-making projects that have histories and politics.
