Overview

The Minor in Screen Studies, offered by the Department of Film and Media Arts, provides students the opportunity to sample the aesthetics, history and cultural significance of moving-image media. It draws upon the fields of cinema studies and humanities-based disciplines of media studies and media arts theory, while also encouraging students to approach screen cultures from neighboring disciplines, such as cultural studies, area studies, art history or visual studies.

The Minor in Screen Studies requires a minimum of 19 credits and is open to all undergraduate students across the university.
