Curriculum
Film and Video Studies is an interdisciplinary program in the College of Arts and Sciences that combines courses offered in the Department of English, the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication (JMC), Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Linguistics (MLLL), the Department of Communications, the School of Art and the College of Education. The Program is designed to give students a broad understanding of the role of film and video in modern society.
To major in Film and Video Studies, students must complete 39 hours of FVS courses and the required general education courses. Of these 39 hours of FVS credit, at least 18 hours must be taken at the upper division level. In addition to an introductory course and a senior seminar, the interdisciplinary program also includes the courses listed on the Arts and Sciences degree requirement sheet. The course descriptions of the FVS classes are a valuable resource for understanding what is involved in an FVS course.
It is also possible to minor in Film and Video Studies. FVS offers a limited number of scholarships each year.
