The NYFA Bachelor of Arts in Media Studies is an eight-semester program designed to focus on the study of current and emerging media arts and the theoretical underpinnings necessary for understanding media's impact in today's society. The goal of the program is not only to prepare students for the rapidly changing landscapes of the Entertainment Industry, but also to turn out thoughtful consumers, critics and producers of media.

The strength of the NYFA Bachelor of Arts in Media Studies Degree is in its combination of media theory and media practice. Students will learn tools to develop and present essays and academic studies on media as well as creating professional-caliber emerging media pitch presentations, business plans, scripts, budgets and ultimately completed content. The program is further enhanced through internships and NYFA’s collaboration with industry-leading emerging media companies. Students will be prepared to either work hand-in-hand with professionals in the traditional and emerging media industries, or advance to the next, appropriate level of graduate study.
