Film Studies is an interdisciplinary minor offered by four departments: English, History, Journalism, and Speech Communication and Theatre Arts. Film Studies examines film as an art form, as an industry, and as the most popular and most influential communication medium of the twentieth century. Film Studies provides an interdisciplinary approach to visual literacy as it introduces students to film history, theory, criticism, and production.
