BA Degree in Community
Media and Technology:
The University of
Massachusetts Community Media and Technology Program is now
offering a liberal arts degree [Bachelor of Arts] in community
media and technology.
The Community Media
and Technology Program is a part of the College of Public
and Community Service [CPCS] at UMass Boston; it takes its
cue from cutting-edge media and technology practice on the
ground and is founded on a vision of activist education and
learning in pursuit of social justice. At the core of the
program is an inventive self-paced, competency-based curriculum
in which prior learning is validated and collaborative projects
are supported. Students are encouraged to become socially
and politically active through partnerships with cultural
groups, labor unions, non-profit service providers, and community
media and technology organizations. The Community Media and
Technology Program seeks to produce skilled activists, artists,
and professionals who combine history, theory, aesthetics,
and analysis with technical proficiency, social vision, and
a commitment to non-profit culture and reflective community
practice. No other educational program in the country delivers
this unique combination of knowledge and skills.
