BA in Media and Screen Studies and Media Arts in Boston United States | Northeastern University

The Media and Screen Studies Program collaborates with the Department of Art Design to provide an interdisciplinary major blending media studies with media arts. This combined program allows students to merge theoretical knowledge with practical skills in modern media, preparing them for careers in documentary filmmaking, game design, visual storytelling, motion graphics, interactive installations, illustration, and animated shorts.
Art gives life purpose. Design provides life's functionality. Combined, they create extraordinary experiences. Artists and designers shape cultural narratives, contribute to societal progress, and drive innovation in the global creative economy.

Our curriculum explores essential concepts of perception, creativity, production, and application, offering students the chance to master artistic theories, technical methods, and design processes. We offer exceptional faculty, structured programs, and state-of-the-art facilities for immersive art and design education within a leading urban research institution. Students can explore their creative passions while engaging with global challenges. Our study abroad opportunities span locations worldwide - from Austria, England, and Iceland to Japan, Italy, and domestic sites like Kentucky and Hawaii - providing intensive studio practice that enhances learning through cultural immersion and international creative collaboration.
