Baylor in New York offers an immersive educational experience in the heart of one of America's cultural capitals, New York City. Students can expect to spend a whole semester in New York City, and receive a full course load of credit. Our classes and internships are designed to complement one another.  (Previous Baylor interns have worked for ESPN, NBC, MTV, VH-1, American Movie Classics, and many other nationally-known employers; many were given job offers!) 

  • 3 hrs. Internship Credit with a New York City company/organization.
  • 3 hrs. Independent Study.
  • 6 hrs. of classes from the following list:
    • Communication and Culture (fall and spring semester): A study of prominent modes of cultural criticism, as they focus on the intersection of communication and modern culture. Several spheres of culture are examined in light of communication theory, and these spheres may change from semester to semester. Past spheres have included: the arts, film/TV, new technologies, architecture/neighborhood planning, journalism, business, and music. The class features a mixture of lectures, guest lectures, museum visits, and cultural events.
    • Art and the Moving Image (fall semester): A study in the confluence of the visual arts and moving image media. The course emphasizes classic aesthetic concepts, contemporary concerns surrounding those concepts, and unique aesthetic concerns arising from modern technological society. The class features a mixture of lectures, guest lectures, museum visits, and cultural events.
    • Topics in Contemporary Cinema (spring semester): An academic investigation at the intersection of contemporary cinema and contemporary culture. A variety of critical paradigms are studied, as well as contemporary philosophical ideas. Cinema is approached as a cultural artifact, pregnant with issues of genre, aesthetics, philosophy (especially postmodernism), theology, and cultural history. In other words, students are encouraged to think deeply and reflectively about their own time through the lens of cinema. The course draws upon and utilizes the many art theaters and cinematic resources of New York City.
