Deadline for Applications: March 1, 2019
Priority Deadline- January 15, 2019
Applications are now being accepted for the new Master of Science degree in the fields of language, cultural studies, and media studies at Georgia Tech. The M.S. in Global Media and Cultures, a joint degree by the School of Modern Languages and School of Literature, Media, and Communication, will be offered with tracks in Russian, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish.
As a professional master’s degrees, the MS-GMC reflects the rising importance of humanistic study for many career fields in the 21st century, ranging from media, education, and international business to non-profit and engineering. These degrees build on a rapidly expanding global media ecosystem in Atlanta, where humanities fields and their graduates are providing sought-after cultural and creative industry competence. We aim to help students apply their skills in language and analysis—as well as their passion for cross-cultural communication, social justice, and media—to a successful, impactful career.
The program site is at: https://gmc.iac.gatech.edu.
Students would have two semesters on campus at Georgia Tech during each of which they would take three credits of core coursework, one graduate course from LMC (in English), one from our Russian group (advanced content in Russian) and the fourth course either from LMC or Modern Languages. The final six credits (final project) can be completed during the summer in the context of our summer study abroad, but we also have a generous scholarship that covers tuition and dormitory for students who would complete the program during the following fall semester in St. Petersburg. (We can’t guarantee the scholarship to students on entry, but all students participating in our academic study abroad program at in St. Petersburg have so far received the scholarship.)
MS-GMC is Board of Regents approved and pending SACSCOC approval in 2019.
