Media, Culture, and the Arts
Understand how cultural production can shape and restore society’s shared imagination.
MCA at King’s
Through the Media, Culture, and the Arts degree at The King’s College in New York City, students explore the history of artistic and cultural movements, the driving ideologies of civilizations, and the principles of cultural interpretation. Our courses rest upon the conviction that culture-making springs from what a society loves and worships. We believe that cultural production—books, technology, music, plays, institutions, media, the visual arts, and more—shapes our shared imagination and directs our future. At King’s, we are called to cultivate, create, and restore culture in every city.
