Cinema Studies Minor
Even though movies are little over a century old, they have become one of the most influential and popular art forms in the world.
The minor in Cinema Studies is an interdisciplinary program that allows students to develop critical viewing and writing skills as they learn about the history, theory, production and analysis of cinema.
