Film Studies

Minor in Film Studies

The Minor in Film Studies is administered through the Department of
English. The Minor encourages students to select a combination of courses dedicated
to film as well as to related disciplines that inform the making and
appreciation of cinema. The history, art, and politics of film--as well as
the dynamics of critical reception, from fans to philosophers--are all part
of the experience.

You should consider a minor in film studies if you:

• are intrigued by the audiovisual dimensions of film and are impressed by film's storytelling abilities
• are curious how film evolved as an art form over time
• are interested in how films relate to social reality
• are excited to explore the cinema of countries outside North America
