Program of study (2005-2008)
The program is built around a three course core that introduces students to social scientific, literary, and contextual approaches to film. Additional course work is required in "theory, tools, and methods" for analyzing and interpreting film, and in focus areas that allow students to tailor the minor to their specific needs and interests. The relationship of film to other media and to larger historical, social, and artistic movements and practices is the unifying theme within the program of study.
