Que doit-on savoir et comprendre du web, de l'internet, des réseaux et des médias en ce début de XXI ème siècle?The academic study of media at MIT has a long, distinguished and eclectic history populated by the likes of Vannevar Bush (engineering), Ithiel de Sola Pool (social sciences), Norbert Wiener (mathematics), Harold "Doc" Edgerton (physics), Ricky Leacock (filmmaking), Noam Chomsky (Linguistics), and Nicholas Negroponte (media arts and sciences). In 1982, the Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences formed an interdisciplinary undergraduate program in Film and Media Studies, a move that would culminate in the formation of the two-year MS program in Comparative Media Studies (2000) and the BS program in Comparative Media Studies (2003).
Comparative Media Studies: What Is CMS?
MIT Comparative Media Studies
The goal of our program is not to replicate existing paradigms, but as an early CMS backer said, to prepare students for jobs that don't yet exist. We consult regularly with leaders in industry, the arts, public policy, journalism, education, and the nonprofit sector, trying to understand contemporary developments, identify job and internship opportunities, and pinpoint skills and knowledge which will help prepare our students for new opportunities. Our courses are designed to teach students to both make and reflect upon media and in the process, to acquire important skills in team work, leadership, problem solving, collaboration, brainstorming, communications, and project completion, which will prepare them for a broad range of academic and professional careers.
