Through the Film and Media Studies (FAMS) minor, students will explore film, television, and electronic media as important art forms and cultural phenomena. In addition, students will gain an interdisciplinary understanding of the history, theory, and socio-cultural aspects of media, alongside the artistic production and digital multi-media skills.
The interdisciplinary minor in Film and Media Studies requires a total of six courses (18 credit hours). FAMS minors must complete three core courses in ART 111: Introduction to Film Analysis, COMM 211: Mass Communication and COMM 205: Mediated Messages; and three electives that support their particular interests and career plans.
