The doctoral program in Moving Image Studies in the Dept of Communication at Georgia State University is currently accepting applications from students wishing to pursue studies in film, television, new media, and visual culture. Applicants should have the M.A. degree (ideally in the Humanities) at the time they begin coursework in the doctoral program. (Students without the M.A. may enroll in our M.A. program in Film & Video with emphasis on the critical study of the moving image.) Normally, all doctoral students admitted to the program are offered financial assistance in the form of a graduate teaching assistantship. For full consideration for financial assistance, applications should be received by Feb. 1, 2010.
