Follow Your Path to Emerson

Emerson is the graduate school for communication and the arts. At Emerson, we understand your focus because we share it. As one of the few colleges in the world devoted to communication and the arts, Emerson draws enthusiastic, creative minds like a magnet. At Emerson, you will be supported - and challenged - by faculty who are making lasting marks in communication and the arts. You will be surrounded by students like you who have poetry in their speech, images on their minds, and strategies in their notebooks.

Emerson is the school for "doers." Students who come to Emerson for their master's degree have a natural proclivity to innovate. They are intelligent and curious people who like to get their hands dirty. They are not satisfied with simply thinking about the future; they want to shape it. We know how to fan that flame with practical coursework that is infused with theory.

Our graduates lead the creative fields. Whether it is the publishing houses in New York or the motion picture studios of Los Angeles or any of the media markets in between, Emerson graduates are at the forefront of creative industries. In fact, many consider Emerson a "feeder" school for the communication and art industries. When you leave Emerson, you will most likely have made contacts in the field through internships. You will emerge with a reel of clips under your arm, a resume filled with clinical experience, strategic plans that integrate multiple marketing tools, and advice on how to succeed in the industry.
