Graduate Certificate

Film & Media Studies Graduate Certificate

The post baccalaureate program in Film & Media Studies provides students with a theoretical, aesthetic and historical foundation in film and screen media. It complements a number of other graduate programs and stands on its own as an overview of global film studies. Students take two core courses with revolving topics but similar foundational outcomes and two electives of their choosing. 

The program is flexible and can often be adapted in consultation with the Program Director to meet students’ particular interests. Contact Megan Boyd with questions.
