WHAT
IS THE FILM STUDIES MINOR?
Lewis University's
new interdisciplinary minor in Film Studies offers courses in
film study, history, theory, national cinema traditions, genre study,
screenwriting, and digital production processes. As a manageable minor
course of study, students can easily integrate film studies with their work in other major fields.
Program details and course descriptions can be found using the minor
link at left. This is a quick summary of currently listed courses, but new
courses from many different departments will be added to this list in coming
semesters.
