Film Studies BS
Film Studies prepares students for a variety of careers and further educational opportunities by providing foundational instruction in the analysis of visual narrative. As a Film Studies student, you'll assess the medium of film in interdisciplinary courses. You'll learn methods of film analysis that take into account the history and conventions of filmmaking. You'll learn about the social impact of film — its uses for reflecting, shaping, and critiquing culture — while improving your ability to express interpretations of this important and influential medium. You'll emerge with the ability to critically view and interpret films, becoming a discerning cinema analyst.
Dozens of career fields rely on knowledge of digital media and visual narratives — including fields in the arts, business, journalism, writing, education, and many more. Do you want to write about moving images, make them, market them, or teach them? If you want to develop your ability to analyze visual language and create visual narratives, you may find that a Film Studies major or minor is the right fit for you and your goals.
Of course, you may want to take Film Studies courses out of pure love for the movies, which is just fine by us.
