Our Priority of Consideration Deadline for Fall 2020 (and deadline for

Launched in 1999, the joint graduate program in Communication and Culture
("ComCult") is an interdisciplinary initiative unmatched anywhere in Canada.

No other master's or doctoral program supports as thorough an examination
of the essential interaction between:

   -

   Communication practices, processes, and technologies
   -

   Cultural institutions, industries, and practices, as well as individual
   makers of culture.


Our students <https://www.ryerson.ca/graduate/programs/comcult/people/>come
from diverse social sciences, humanities, media, business, cultural
production and fine arts backgrounds. Our program offers a rich curriculum
that supports this diversity.

We offer competitive funding packages, teaching and research assistant work
opportunities and strong support for external scholarship application
success. There are for-credit field placement options for MAs as well as
opportunities to conduct scholarly research-creation and creative
project-based work.

More than 140 faculty
<https://www.ryerson.ca/graduate/programs/comcult/people/>from both York
and Ryerson are eligible to teach and supervise in the program with links
to dozens of leading labs and research centres. Our faculty are widely
published in academic forums, have had their creative work exhibited at
juried festivals and galleries, and have received significant research
funding. Others maintain professional experience in industry, or bring a
professional background to their work as professors.

ComCult alumni have found success throughout Canada and around the world
across many sectors, including: academia, arts and culture management,
policy, public service, journalism, marketing communications, publishing,
photography, project management, freelance writing and editing, non-profit
administration, law, film, and design.

With access to both Ryerson University and York University, our students
benefit from some of the best academic and creative resources available at
any Canadian university, including media production facilities, archival
collections, on-line and library resources and the many collections,
institutions, and creative industries in the region.

Toronto is a vibrant, global city and is also known as one of the safest
urban centres in the world. The city's central location means that you will
have access to many resources, including adjunct faculty and visiting
lecturers and exposure to many culture- and communication-based industries
and activities.

Students with questions about the program or application should
consult our website
<https://www.ryerson.ca/graduate/programs/comcult/>and are welcome to
contact me and/or comcult at ryerson.ca off list.

Regards,
Jeremy Shtern
