Film Studies Minor
A minor in Film Studies will expand students' knowledge of films, give them an understanding of film history and culture, and help them discuss films using appropriate technical vocabulary. This minor is housed within the English department, and is available to both English majors and non-English majors. In addition to courses available within the English department, students are encouraged to take film courses offered in other disciplines like Philosophy and Anthropology.
