The Department of Media Study was founded
in the late 1960¹s by Gerald O'Grady. We have a
long tradition of support for innovative, independent
media production and criticism - our digital arts program,
 for example, is among the first in the United States.
DMS enables students the rare opportunity of truly
inter-disciplinary work. We are linked to resources
in artistic practices and theory in the departments
of Anthropology, Architecture, Art, Art History,
Comparative Literature, Communications,
Computer Science, Education, Engineering,
English, Music, Theatre and Dance; and
the Center for the Americas.
------------------------------------------
The department's approach acknowledges the
inextricable link between theory and practice,
and the possibility of their fruitful convergence.
Media production, in our sense, is a theoretically
informed and socially contextualized cultural activity.

Part of what makes Media Study at UB unique are our numerous resources
within the university itself and the city of Buffalo. Students not only have
access to our labs and equipment, but also benefit vocationally and
artistically from our strong ties to professional organizations within
Buffalo (a list follows). Resources include access to equipment, labs,
suites, screening rooms, and internships at area organizations. Students
will also gain from supervision of the Director of Graduate Studies, benefit
from university services and resources, and have access to all university
libraries, including Lockwood library for research materials and VCRs. The
Media Library in 24 Capen is another excellent resource for students. The
Department of Media Study also features its own collection of more than
1.000 videos, films, and DVDs for students to view and study.
