Film & Digital Media, MA

The MA in Film & Digital Media is intended for those who intend to progress to a PhD program in Media Studies or to pursue a career in media management. If your intended career path is as a creative filmmaker, then we recommend the MFA program. 

The MA is a 30-36 hour, two-year degree. You will take courses such as Contemporary Film Theory and Storytelling in the 21st Century, as well as independent study and research opportunities. Each MA student will write a research thesis to finish their program. You can do research in media studies, media psychology and effects, or media management. 

To start your application, visit www.grad.baylor.edu/apply and log in using your Bear ID and password (you’ll create one if you don’t have one). Create a new application, select 2024 and the Baylor Graduate School in the dialog box that pops up. When the Degree Level selection comes up, select the Master’s option, and then pick MA in Film & Digital Media.

Contact our Graduate Program Director, Dr. Dan Shafer at Daniel_M_Shafer@baylor.edu for further details.
