The Master of Arts in Global Communications (MAGC) is one of the few MA programs in
the world to undertake the systematic study of
global communication systems. The massive
technological revolution provided by the
internet, digitalization, and the economic
transformations caused by brand globalization,
combined with the intercultural tensions
associated with these tendencies, are the
focus of the program.

The Major in Global
Communications trains students in a liberal arts
tradition to think critically and creatively
about the contemporary communications
environment which they experience as global
citizens and possibly, soon, as practitioners of
professional communication. It provides students
with substantive knowledge based on current
research, with practical skills and analytical
ability to understand (and play an active role
in) the complex dynamics of communication at
global, local, and individual levels. Graduates
of this major understand the huge and rapid
trends and rifts appearing in societies as media
converge, new cultural forms, practices and
spaces emerge, and belief structures shift.
Student Learning Outcomes
Global Communications
majors will:
gain insight into the history and construction
of communication as a field;
develop in-depth knowledge of theoretical
foundations and recent developments in
particular tracks or emphases of study;
learn a solid liberal arts background necessary
for success in graduate study in communication
studies;
learn practical skills applicable for students'
careers in communication fields;
master communication research methods, including
historical, textual, socio-cultural, and
empirical approaches and procedures for writing
and presenting research;
sharpen international media literacy skills;
learn communication's role
in global identity formation and the influence
of this process transculturally.
Interdisciplinary Initiatives
Communication studies is a field that overlaps with politics,
sociology, anthropology, and literature, to name a few. Thus,
interdisciplinary initiatives are practically built into the
definition of the field. In addition, the Global Communications
Department has devised a new Political Communication minor to
serve students interested in politics or communications who want
more in-depth treatment of this important topical overlap.
Several courses are cross-listed with International and
Comparative Politics. The department also houses the
anthropology courses of the university. Some Global
Communications courses are cross-listed with film. A media and
gender course is crosslisted with Gender Studies. Finally
several business courses are part of our degree requirements.
Centers and Partnerships
The Global Communications department has summer exchange
agreements with NYU's Department of Communication and Culture,
featuring a summer institute in Global Communications.

Christy Shields received a research grant
in January from the CIGC (Comité
Interprofessionnel du Gruyère de Comté) to
undertake ethnographic research focused on
the elaboration and use of Comté's "Wheel
of Aromas" as well as the related “jury
terroir” (terroir tasting panels). This
research will contribute in insightful
ways to on-going academic discussions
concerned with the relationship between
taste and place, on the one hand, and
taste as reflexive practice, on the other.
This research (and its funding) grew out
of Christy's collaboration with the CIGC
(and, in particular, with taste educator
Claire Perrot and taste scientist Florence
Bérodier) for the summer course/practicum
trip Christy designed for graduate
students in Global Communications.
