2024-2025 Graduate Catalog
Cinema Studies Graduate Certificate
|
|
The Graduate Certificate in Cinema Studies offers students the opportunity to study the aesthetics and history of cinema from a transnational, interdisciplinary perspective. The curriculum trains students in the theory of film analysis and criticism and allows them to explore different cinematic cultures and traditions. Many disciplines such as English, History, MFLL, Sociology, Religious Studies, and Political Science, and of course Art, employ visual media in teaching and research. Mastering theories and methodologies of film and visual media analysis is a key skill for research and effective teaching. Our courses provide a wide variety of theoretical approaches to film that will help graduate students to conduct their own research and inquiries and to enhance their teaching.
The Cinema Studies Graduate Certificate consists of a minimum of 12 graduate credit hours in interdisciplinary coursework outlined below. A maximum of six graduate credit hours can overlap between the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Graduate Certificate and the student’s home discipline, as approved by the Cinema Studies program cochairs. At least six graduate credit hours toward the Cinema Studies Graduate Certificate must be taken at the 500-level or above. Home unit: School of Art .
