Deadline: February 15, 2021
Please help spread the word to your students about our 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, is currently offered with tracks in Russian, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish.
As a professional master’s degree, 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. The degree builds 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.

In addition to coursework on the Georgia Tech campus, we also have a generous scholarship to which students can apply that covers tuition and dormitory for those completing their final project in St. Petersburg.

Jan. 15, 2020 — priority application date for the MS GMC.
Feb. 15, 2020 — final application deadline for the MS GMS

We hope you will help us identify strong candidates for these degrees. Please forward the information below to your upper division language courses. If you have a particular student or students for whom you think this might make sense, I would love to speak with them personally and answer any questions.
