Requirements for Cinema Minor

DESCRIPTION
A minor in cinema studies provides students the critical vocabulary and perspective with which to analyze motion pictures and related media within larger artistic, cultural, historical, political, linguistic, and global contexts. This minor also includes opportunities to take classes in certain aspects of pre-production and filmmaking—such as digital video and screenwriting—such that students can have hands-on experience with the medium they are studying. Because of the variety of cinema content, analysis, technology, and distribution, a cinema studies minor would complement almost any major.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
The cinema studies minor is an interdisciplinary minor consisting of 18 credit hours from the list of courses below. The same course may not satisfy requirements for both the major and the minor. Students who complete relevant internships, study abroad courses, or special topics courses will consult with the cinema studies director prior to enrollment in the course for approval.

NOTES

The same course may not satisfy requirements for both a major and a minor.
Students who complete relevant internships, study abroad courses, or special topics courses will consult with the Cinema Director prior to enrollment in the course for approval and to determine the appropriate category for the course.

***ATTENTION CURRENT STUDENTS AND ADVISORS***

Many of the production courses that were previously for the Cinema minor are now exclusively for the BFA in Film Production. As such, you may not enroll in those courses (except in extremely rare circumstances).

To meet your requirements for cinema production hours, students should take the courses noted, especially CINE 301 and CINE 302, which are the new production courses designed specifically for Cinema minors.
