Minor in Film Studies

Requirements (15 cr.)

All courses are 3 credit hours, unless otherwise noted. These courses may require additional time for viewing films.

Select five of the following courses, or other courses, as designated in the Schedule of Classes. The minor may include up to six credit hours at the 100–level. In addition, students seeking to apply a course with a more comprehensive theme to the minor should be able to show that a major portion of their work, such as a term paper or similar assignment, dealt directly with a film studies topic.
