This is an interdisciplinary minor in cinema which draws from historical, religious, philosophical, theoretical, and aesthetic perspectives. Students are encouraged to select courses which are based on students’ intellectual and professional interests. Students interested in film criticism and/or writing and teaching may take electives in film theory and criticism, while students interested in scriptwriting and production may take courses in those areas. The minor is structured as interdisciplinary in its electives so that students will truly be studying in the liberal arts tradition. All students must take the required courses, and then must select from the elective courses to complete the minor.
