Description

The EGS is a privately funded Graduate School, established in 1994, and is a graduate and post-graduate degree-granting University, with a Campus in Saas-Fee, Wallis, and Centers in New York and Dresden. The EGS is accredited by permission of the State Council (Staatsrat) of the Canton Wallis, Switzerland, to award recognized Master (M.A.) and Ph.D. (Dr.phil.) degrees and is formally recognized as university in Wallis by Staatsratsbeschluss (State Council decision, from June 20, 2002).

In recognition of the benefits of international scientific exchange the EGS has established a curricular cooperation with universities in Europe and the USA (Academy of Media Arts, Cologne; Graduate School for Music and Theater, Hamburg; International School for New Media L¨beck; University of Split, Croatia; Appalachian State University, North Carolina; California Institute of Integral Studies).

Within the last ten years the field of communication has shifted its focus from mass communication, journalism, and interpersonal communication to media theory, media arts, and cultural studies. The interdisciplinary turn of communication studies deals critically and creatively with information technology, the 'software' of society as well as of private life. At the core of this comprehensive approach to communication is a philosophy of information technology which emphasizes the human condition. Our questions concern aesthetics and ethics in theory and practice with special consideration given to the sociology and psychology of advanced communication technologies.
