Film and Media Studies Major
|
The B.A. in Film and Media Studies provides students with skills that can be applied in a number of fields: from the entertainment industry, including film, television and new media, to local media arts organizations, teaching and research. Based in a broad liberal arts education focused on the humanities, our students graduate with the ability to think analytically and speak and write clearly and persuasively — skills in demand across almost all sectors of the global economy. Our program develops these skills through a variety of discussion-based and writing intensive courses. Graduates with degrees in Film and Media Studies have secured jobs in the entertainment industry as creative executives, producers, managers, and writers. They work in the media arts, in story and production development, in exhibition, distribution and film, television and video game production. They have completed graduate studies, and secured jobs in journalism as film and media critics. For a better sense of academic and employment options for graduates of our program we invite students to talk with our faculty. To prepare students for these opportunities, the B.A. in Film and Media Studies emphasizes film and media convergence, critical and creative studies, or integration, and professional practices. • FMS 100 - Introduction to Film (3 Credits) (HU) After completing the core, Film and Media Studies majors elect one of the following areas of emphasis: Media and Society, Media Industries, Styles and Genres or Screenwriting.
