 Return to: Department Programs List
The critical studies specialization explores the history, theory, and criticism of film and television. Students examine cinema’s role as a unique 20th century art form and the contributions of moving image media as cultural practices of enduring social significance. In the critical studies specialization, they explore film and television texts in relation to the world these texts represent; not only the meanings of these texts but also the processes by which these meanings are constructed. Students will develop the skills to analyze the power and responsibility of American and international film and television and new media technologies from formal, aesthetic, historical, social, and ideological perspectives.
Students must maintain a 2.4 GPA or higher with a minimum grade of C- in all courses counted toward fulfilling the film and video studies major or minor requirements.
