Media, Culture, & the Arts
Welcome to the department that revels in diversity!
Our various areas of study include Art, Film Production, Interdisciplinary Studies, Modern Language, Music, and Media and Communication. Faculty members are exceptionally qualified in their areas of instruction. We offer classes through different delivery methods (face-to-face, online, etc.), and welcome visitors to our busy but warm office areas where students and teachers interact.
Cultural events are presented on both main campuses in music. In addition to the annual juried art show featuring works of our students, regular shows appear in the Peacock Gallery on the Cochran campus. Our department is also the point of contact for The Statement, the university's newspaper, and KnighTVision, the campus television initiative.
The MGA Arts Festival is also an annual event run by the Department of MCA that brings in writers, artists, musicians, actors, and dancers to perform and share their insights with MGA students and the Middle Georgia community.
MCA also offers real-world, hands-on experience for students within and outside of the MCA curriculum. Explore and get involved in our student-operated media and organizations.
