Difference Between Comparative Media Studies and Media Arts & Science?

<p>They seem awfully similar to me…unless if someone could shed the light for me with a detailed explanation between the two programs. :)</p>

<p>Completely different. </p>

<p>CMS is a humanities major, studying texts, media sociology, fandom, etc analytically. </p>

<p>MAS is learning by building and deploying (rather than analyzing) media tools / websites / art creations / etc. </p>

<p>Loosely, one is more like engineering, one is more like the sociology of engineering.</p>

<p>Thank you very much! In that case, Media Arts and Sciences would be an interesting field of study for me. ;)</p>
