Film and Media Studies (C019)
GEC Coordinator: Charles Nero
An interdisciplinary concentration that focuses on the history, theory, production, and criticism of cinema and other moving-image media. Courses examine cinema's artistic and cultural contributions, moving-image media as practices of social significance, and techniques of directing, acting, and editing sound and image.
Complete four courses designated with the (C019) GEC attribute, with no more than two from the same department/program. Students are encouraged to take one course with a film production component.
