Film Studies
Areas of Study
Offered through the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies, Film Studies allows students to investigate the subject through a combination of lecture classes and seminars.
- Survey classes in American and World Film
- Courses in French, Italian, German and Russian film taught in English
- Advanced film seminars and tutorials
Requirements
Through the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies (CIS), students may design either a major that balances introductory and advanced classes or a minor that includes at least one advanced seminar or tutorial. The CIS Director and Committee on Academic Programs approves, monitors, and administers all self-designed minors and majors. Students must apply and have their minor/major application approved.
Film studies majors generally are composed of 14 courses drawn from at least three departments (or 10 courses in the case of a double-major). A film studies major may overlap a maximum of 2 courses from another course of study (e.g., another major) or 3 courses from two other courses of study (e.g, another major and a different minor). No single course may count for three courses of study.
Film studies minors are generally composed of 6 courses drawn from at least three different departments. A film studies minor may overlap a maximum of 2 courses from all other courses of study.
