About the Department of Media Studies

The Department is housed in the Brown Building and in the Carmichael Radio and Television Center. The Carmichael Center was originally constructed as a television and radio facility as part of the University of North Carolina public broadcasting system. The Department's faculty is composed of talented artists and scholars with excellent reputations as teachers. Students are encouraged to collaborate with faculty and graduate students in the Department's Master of Fine Arts in Film and Video program as a means of enriching their course of study.

The Department of Media Studies focuses on the creative production and critical consumption of a range of moving-image media. The Department's rich and varied curriculum is matched by an extensive co-curricular program that includes opportunities to participate in on-campus media productions, the student-run campus radio station WUAG, the UNCG Carolina Film and Video Festival (CFVF), and a strong local and national internship program. The CFVF is an annual, international competitive showcase for student and independent media producers. The Department hosts the Festival screenings and workshops each spring.
