The Minor in Film Studies encourages students to select a combination of courses dedicated to film as well as to related disciplines that inform the making and appreciation of cinema. The history, art and politics of film - as well as the dynamics of critical reception from fans to philosophers - are all part of the experience. This interdisciplinary minor involves a total of eight courses, including four to seven FILM courses.
