Located in the English Department, Film and Television Studies offers a major and minor. Our courses have all been designed to explore aesthetic, technological, historical, theoretical, and cultural developments. We also study film and television as an international art form. Basic introductory courses expose students to the concepts needed to begin studying film and television as well as its early historical and theoretical concerns. The intermediate level courses concentrate on contemporary issues, genre history, and theory as well as film and video production. And the advanced level seminars attempt to bring together all the student’s knowledge through a course that explores the depths of one topic (such as studying the works of one director, global and European cinema, women in film, race and television, or violence in film).
