Global Media Experience

Global Media Experience

Global Media Experience is a visit to media centers around the globe that enable students to visit major traditional and new media organizations.

During their visit, students will meet prominent figures and attend events that give them a better idea of careers in these fields, what it takes to succeed, and to see the work in action. Students will gain a greater understanding of the media’s role in various communities, a working appreciation of the mechanics of creating a finished piece, discover potential aspects of study and also career paths to pursue.

In the world of media, some of the most influential, creative, and successful organizations can be found in New York City and Dubai. Past Global Media Experience trips included visits to Media City in Dubai, as well as a wide array of media institutions throughout New York City.
