Film Studies (minor only)
Minor
One of the distinctive features of the interdepartmental minor is the wide range of course offerings on films from different countries and cultures. As such, the Film Studies minor can play a critical supporting role to the focus of a major and the Senior Independent Study.
The minor in Film Studies consists of six courses, to include Comparative Film Studies (Comparative Literature 236); at least two courses from Category I (Film Criticism, History, and Theory); and at least one course from Category II (Film Writing, Production, and Media Studies).
