Communication and Media Studies Department
Beginning in Fall 2013 the Department of Communication and Media Studies will be offering a minor in Cinema Studies. This new minor offers students the opportunity to gain deeper knowledge of one of the most culturally significant media of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. With broad-based and specialized courses on the analysis, history, and theory of many different kinds of cinema—from mainstream Hollywood to the international avant garde—the Cinema Studies minor will provide students a multidimensional understanding of movies as forms of art, products of industry, and modes of communication.
