Information for Incoming Students

Film has emerged as one of the most important art forms of the modern era. Cinema Studies at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ introduces students to the techniques, history, and literature of film to cultivate an understanding of both the vision and craft of film artists and the views of society and culture expressed in cinema. The Cinema Studies minor consists of five courses. First-year students interested in Cinema Studies are welcome in any course that does not have a prerequisite.
