The purpose of the BA program in film studies is to afford students the opportunity to study in depth the aesthetic, cultural, sociological, political, philosophical, and psychological elements of the cinema.

The film studies major and minor are composed of film courses offered by a number of departments in the Divisions of the Arts and Humanities and the Social Sciences.

THE MAJOR

Students majoring in film studies (36 credits) will plan their program of study in accordance with the following course groupings. (A full description of each course will be found in the course listings for the particular department involved.)
