Film Studies

The film studies minor prepares students for careers in academics, media production, media-related fields or other jobs in the humanities. In a larger sense, it also provides students the skills and training to better understand the larger media landscape and its relationship to ourselves as consumers and citizens.

Moreover, film studies is a doorway into engaging with diverse frames of reference, fresh narratives and discovering a broader appreciation of the human experience through learning opportunities such as study abroad trips and community engagement options.
