The College of Staten Island is a leading publicly funded unit of The City University of New York (CUNY) located in the fastest growing borough of New York City.

Our Master's program offers faculty opportunities for seminar teaching and working with students on research and/or production theses. The department also prepares students for PhD programs in cinema and communications, as well as related disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.

The college's location in New York City enables it to draw on the vast economic and cultural resources of the city.
