Moving Image, Media & Sound (MIMS) highlights the many technical, economic, aesthetic, formal, historical, and theoretical issues that inform the multiple ways that contemporary media forms play out in contemporary culture.

The study of the moving image, media & sound helps position graduate students for the job market in the context of a pervasive moving image culture that coincides with the globalization of capital and information in the new millennium. It provides them with the analytical tools and critical skills to understand the role of moving images in global mass communication, entertainment, and the articulation of knowledge and belief systems.
