Overview

By combining psychology, communication, media studies, and research methods, the program helps you understand how media influences behavior, and how people shape the media they create, consume, and share.

Features

You’ll study behavioral topics like the way people learn, what motivates and persuades them, and shapes personal identities online and off, as well as how these influences apply to the media we consume.

Media Psychology coursework at Emerson College blends psychological theory with quantitative and qualitative research, media literacy, critical analysis, and creative problem-solving.

You’ll learn to approach questions of user experience, media design, storytelling, marketing, accessibility, and ethics from multiple perspectives while developing the research and analytical skills needed to evaluate complex real-world challenges.
