Cinema Studies focuses on analyzing film and the screen arts as some of the most important cultural productions of the twenty-first century. Students approach movies as cultural texts and gain an understanding of the social, political, historical, and industrial contexts that produce cinema. The minor broadens students' knowledge of how these texts shape and are shaped by culture. As an interdisciplinary program, cinema studies draws on faculty expertise from various disciplines and includes global and historical perspectives. The minor also builds personal knowledge and professional competencies.
