Minor Program

The interdisciplinary minor in cinema studies consists of seven courses distributed as follows: (1) three required courses, 01:354:201, 202 (01:354:210 may be substituted for either 01:354:201 or 202), and 01:175:425 (01:354:420 may be substituted for 01:175:425); (2) four courses from the list below, two of which must be selected from category A and two additional courses from category A or B. A minimum of three courses must be at the 300 level or above.

Students pursuing a minor in cinema studies must select five courses for the minor that are outside their major. Exception: English literature majors who pursue a cinema studies minor may include more than two 01:354 courses in their minor program, but only two of those may be counted toward the major. Students who select the film option for the English major may not pursue a minor in cinema studies.
