Cinema Studies Minor

Students wishing to explore the history, theory, and criticism of film and television in addition to their major course of study, are encouraged to minor in cinema studies. In this minor students examine the role of cinema, television and interactive media as a unique twentieth-century art form and as cultural practices of enduring social significance. 

Because the bulk of the courses comprising cinema studies minor are derived from the film and video studies core, FVS majors are prohibited from pursuing this minor.

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.
