The Department of Media Studies offers an Accelerated MA <\/a>in Media & Social Justice for eligible Media Studies majors and, on a case-by-case basis, majors in other humanities and social science disciplines.<\/p>\n If your interests as an undergraduate gravitate toward the ways that the media are linked to forms of social inequality and injustice, the MA in Media & Social Justice will interest you. Joining the Accelerated MA program allows you to take graduate courses focused on unjust and unequal forms of media power and ways to confront them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Impact the issues you care about with an Accelerated MA in Media Studies<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Students admitted to the Accelerated MA program can take up to four MA electives while completing the BA and have these electives (up to a total of 12 credits) count toward the BA and the MA in Media & Social Justice. For Media Studies majors, these graduate credits count as electives for your major. For students in majors other than Media Studies, these graduate credits count towards the 120 total credits required of all Queens College bachelor\u2019s degrees (not as part of your undergraduate major).<\/p>\n Students are admitted to the Accelerated MA Program with the expectation that they will prove capable of continuing on to the MA program after they complete their undergraduate studies. Students may be approved for entrance to the MA program based on successful performance in graduate-level courses and a completed MA application including an essay and two letters of recommendation. Students in the Accelerated MA program are under no obligation to apply for MA admission and are not guaranteed acceptance to the MA program if they apply.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Students with a minimum 3.5 GPA in their major and an overall GPA of 3.0 and who are in their upper sophomore or junior year (or approximately when students have reached 45-75 undergraduate credits and before reaching 120 credits). Prior to reaching 120 credits, the 12 credits of graduate courses will be billed at the undergraduate rate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Log into the\u00a0Accelerated Degrees Online Application System<\/a>\u00a0using your\u00a0QC username and password\u00a0(CAMS account credentials<\/a>, not CUNYFirst).<\/p>\n Submit the following information as part of your application:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Interested students should contact the MA Director for more information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.1″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” header_4_font=”Open Sans|600|||on||||” header_4_text_color=”#e71939″ text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Accelerated MA Program The Department of Media Studies offers an Accelerated MA in Media & Social Justice for eligible Media Studies majors and, on a case-by-case basis, majors in other humanities and social science disciplines.
