In our rapidly changing world of digital media,
mobile screens, global cultural flows, and
economic volatility, we see the study of media,
culture, and communication as crucial to
understanding and navigating an increasingly
globally connected world. Faculty research
and teaching aim both to inform students and
to provide them with a set of analytical and
theoretical skills that can help them fully engage
with the critical issues of our times.
New York City is our lab, but our horizons
extend globally. Coursework is designed so that
students can immerse themselves in the vibrant
life of the city. Internships help M.A. students
gain a foothold in media and communications
professions. For both M.A. and Ph.D. students,
we offer a range of study abroad and research
opportunities at sites around the world.

provide the client with skills for the job of living—
those necessary to function in the community or
in the client’s chosen environment.
The Department of Occupational Therapy is
a leading academic center committed to the development of ethical therapists and scholars who
are prepared to respond to the challenges of
society’s ever-changing needs. The department
offers professional-level graduate education for
entry into occupational therapy practice and
post-professional master’s and doctoral degrees
for graduates of approved occupational therapy
programs.

SIMULATED FIREARM POLICY
New York University strictly prohibits
simulated firearms in and/or around any
and all University facilities—academic,

extends to all buildings, whether owned,
leased, or controlled by the University.
The possession of a simulated firearm
has the potential of creating a
dangerous situation for the bearer and
others.
The only exceptions to this policy
are instances in which (1) the bearer
is in possession of written permission
from a dean, associate dean, assistant
dean, or department head and (2) such
possession or use of simulated firearms
is directly connected to a University- or
school-related event (e.g., play, film
production). Whenever an approved
simulated firearm is transported from
one location to another, it must be
placed in a secure container in such
a manner that it cannot be observed.
Storage of approved simulated
firearms shall be the responsibility
