Department of Literatures, Languages and Film

The Film Studies major explores the history, theory, criticism and aesthetics of cinema while immersing students in the technical and creative aspects of filmmaking. Students with interests in producing, directing, cinematography, scriptwriting, and post-production will find opportunities for expression and growth while developing broader understandings of the social, cultural, and political dimensions of film and media arts. Film Studies majors will develop excellent intellectual, communicative, writing and research skills, providing the foundation for a wide range of career opportunities as well as for careers directly connected with the study of film, including: film distribution and production, administrative and management positions in the film industry, advertising and public relations in film, and publishing and education in film.
