The Master of Arts in Global Communications (MAGC) is a cutting-edge program designed for students who want to learn the rare combination of critical theoretical research skills in media and communications and practical hands-on training in branding, public relations, video production, and advocacy.
While many MA programs in Media and Communication Studies offer critical research or practical courses, MAGC is dedicated to rigor in both in the context of globalization. It offers courses with the best-trained researchers in their fields as well as with leading practitioners in communication businesses and the non-profit sector.
The MAGC at AUP focuses on:
* The massive technological revolution provided by the internet, digitalization.
* The economic transformations caused by brand globalization.
* The intercultural problems associated with these tendencies.
* The development of appropriate responses by governments, corporations, and NGOs.
* The development of communications industries—global advertising and image management.
As future employers peruse the résumés that cross their desks, looking for versatility, internet creativity, linguistic competencies, the capacity to work in teams, the ability to transfer skills to pressing situations, as well as the special perspective that only an international education provides, they seek candidates with a full arsenal of theoretical and practical skills. The specific focus of this Master of Arts — global media and global communications — prepares its graduates to be leaders in a world of cross-border dialogues of all sorts.
Coursework for MAGC can be completed in three semesters, including summer (courses offered in June and July). While the degree can be completed in one calendar year, the length of the internship and thesis components may vary. Many MAGC students choose to take additional time for their internship/thesis.
This program complements AUP's global perspective, international image, reach, and student and faculty population. AUP's institutional mission focuses on interdisciplinary study, ethical reflection, and, increasingly, a commitment to discipline-based interdisciplinary and internationalism at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
