About Bachelor of Arts - Media Arts and Cultures
Program Description
One of the first programs of its kind in Canada, Media Arts & Cultures (MAAC) at UNB has offered students a dynamic mix of critical media studies and hands-on creative coursework since 1996. As a MAAC major, students will learn about media by making media. Students will consider, critique, and engage intellectually with media, but students will also learn the tools and techniques used today to create media content.
MAAC combines elements of the liberal arts and fine arts – critical thinking and creative expression. Like all Arts majors, students will write research papers and give presentations, but they will also make videos, media remixes, animations, blogs, and video games.
In Media Arts & Cultures, students will be taught to be both a critical consumer and a creative producer, both a scholar of media and an author of media. Students will not only learn from reading textbooks but also from screening a film or playing a game - and then making one themselves.
Hands-on learning
- Media Arts & Cultures emphasizes experiential learning throughout the program. Students will combine courses in the history and language of film with courses in film production. A course in game studies that examines philosophical reflections on play and games in western culture can be paired with another on contemporary video game design.
