[email protected] The MFA in Documentary Media is a professional degree designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to create compelling documentaries and other kinds of media using documentary methods. With the line between narrative fiction and non-fiction increasingly shifting, this program aims to be expansive, encouraging hybridization and connectivity across dis

ciplines, formats, and genres, equipping students with a diverse set of skills to tell meaningful stories and pursue creative and professional opportunities. Participants will make traditional documentaries, apply narrative techniques to documentary forms and apply documentary techniques to narrative or emergent media projects. Over the course of the two-year program, the selected members of each incoming class learn, work and grow together to form a close-knit artistic community.
