About US
Director's Welcome
| Welcome to the Film and Media Studies program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. In Film and Media Studies, we share the ASU ideals of access, excellence, embeddedness and relevance. Our mission is to offer innovative approaches to the study of film, television, computer games, new media and screenwriting. We embrace the best that historic methods, critical theory and creative expression have to offer our students.
Our goal is to empower students to be critical consumers of media, creative industry professionals and rigorous scholars of media texts and culture. Our standards are high, as the demands of the subject we teach are both challenging and lasting. Indeed, the film and media industries are undergoing constant transformation in the face of industry reorganization, globalization, new technologies and increasingly sophisticated forms of artistic expression and storytelling. Our curriculum aims to put our students on the forward edge of that change. This site will introduce you to the programs, courses, research interests and education opportunities available in film and media studies. I invite prospective students, alumni, potential donors, employees and others to explore the wealth of expertise, passions and scholarly pursuits that comprise this unique program. Perspective and current ASU students can learn more about Film and Media Studies on this website or on our YouTube site: http://www.youtube.com/asufilm Feel free to email me if you have any questions about our program.
