The B.A. in Film & Media Arts offers students the opportunity to examine closely the art form that defines our time through a series of courses covering the history, aesthetics, and criticism of the motion picture. Significant experience in film and video production is also a required element of the program. Students graduate with a solid foundation in both the theory and practice of film as an art form.

Cinema from around the world form the core of the course of study, lending the program an international lens through which to consider film not only as an expression of one’s own culture, but a means to understanding and experiencing others’.
