The New School’s Certificate in Documentary Media Studies is a one-year, full-time, graduate-level program. The certificate program offers you an opportunity to study documentary history, theory, and practice in a small, intensive program situated in New York City, the world’s documentary capital.

Upon completion of the program, certificate holders will be qualified to enter documentary professions through a variety of routes— documentary director/producer, documentary television business, theatrical distribution business, work with film festivals, film magazines or museums—or to continue graduate school in pursuit of an MA and/or PhD in Media, Anthropology, Film Studies, or related field.

Students who complete the Certificate in Documentary Media Studies and apply for and are admitted to the MA in Media Studies may transfer all certificate credits earned with a grade of B or above.

Three evenings of original short documentary films, final work from students graduating from the Graduate Certificate in Documentary Media Studies.
