The Bachelor of Science in Comparative Media Studies program combines modern media analysis (including film, television, and digital platforms) with a deep exploration of historical communication forms. This curriculum blends theoretical frameworks from humanities fields like literature, history, anthropology, art history, and film studies while creating an interdisciplinary approach tailored to today's evolving media landscape. Through this program, students develop the ability to analyze media holistically, transcending traditional single-medium perspectives when examining audiovisual and literary works. This undergraduate foundation prepares students for both graduate studies in various academic fields and professional opportunities in media-related industries.
The interdisciplinary character of both undergraduate and graduate programs is evident through faculty involvement from diverse departments including Art and Architecture, Anthropology, Global Languages, History, Literature, Music and Theater Arts, Philosophy, Science, Technology, and Society, Media Arts and Sciences, Political Science, and Urban Studies and Planning.
