New Interdisciplinary Minor in Cinema

The College of Liberal Arts now offers a new interdisciplinary minor in Cinema.

Cinema is at the heart of a growing international, interdisciplinary interest in media studies.  A minor in Cinema will give students the critical vocabulary and perspective with which to analyze motion pictures within larger artistic, cultural, historical, political, linguistic, and global contexts, as well as provide a greater understanding of hands-on experience with cinema production, including screenwriting, acting, directing, producing, cinematography, and editing.  Because of the variety of cinema content, analysis, technology, and distribution a Cinema minor would complement almost any major.

The minor consists of 18 credit hours, including THEA 250, ENGL 353, and 12 elective hours from an approved list of courses.
