The interdisciplinary minor in Film Studies is a flexible program that incorporates courses in the history, culture, and theory of film, and makes connections between film and literature as narrative art forms. The Film Studies Minor also gives students experience in developing their critical and creative writing skills in courses devoted to film criticism and screenwriting.
For the minor, students choose seven courses (21 credits) from the list of approved courses from the English, Communication, and Modern and Classical Languages Departments and the Television and Film Arts program. Students design their program with their adviser or with the director of Film Studies; their programs must be approved by the English Department chair.
