Academics
At Emerson, you’ll study the fields that shape how people communicate, create, perform, publish, persuade, research, and connect. You’ll build your craft, sharpen your perspective, and put your ideas into motion—through projects, productions, performances, research, fieldwork, internships, and collaboration across disciplines.
Already know what you want to do? Use our program finder to explore Emerson’s undergraduate majors and minors, graduate programs, online programs, professional studies, and 4+1 bachelor’s-to-master’s options.
Still figuring it out? That’s okay, too. Search by keyword, degree level, or school—and start finding the academic path that fits the work you want to make.
Real Work for the Real World
At Emerson, hands-on learning is fully integrated into every aspect of your classroom studies. You’ll test ideas in studios, labs, newsrooms, editing suites, clinics, writer’s rooms, production spaces, and performance venues. You’ll get feedback, try again, and learn what it takes to move from first draft to final cut, from rehearsal to opening night, and from research question to real-world insight.
Learn from People Leading the Industry
At Emerson, your faculty are more than instructors. They are artists, scholars, researchers, writers, performers, journalists, filmmakers, clinicians, strategists, and working professionals who understand the fields you’re preparing to enter.
They’ll challenge your ideas, strengthen your craft, and help you see your work more clearly. And when your path shifts—as good paths often do—you’ll have advisors, academic resources, library support, accessibility services, and career guidance to help you keep moving.
