Our program offers a film and media studies minor. Students build media literacy skills, investigate media history from an international perspective, examine the economics and labor structures of globalized media industries, and engage the central methods and concepts of the discipline. A minor in film and media studies may be of interest to students in many primary disciplines, especially English, history, business, writing and communications, journalism, the arts, music, theater, acting and more. The skills gained in the program prepare students for future graduate work or careers in fields such as archiving and library information science, business and education, to name only a few.  

Most of our classes require students to experience media (watch films, read comics, play games, etc.) as preparation for class lectures and discussion. Access to these media objects and texts are provided via the course Blackboard site.
