Film and Media Studies (AB)

About this programme

To live in the twenty-first century is to engage in the consumption, production, and distribution of sounds, images, and information. The Interdisciplinary Program in Film and Media Studies enables students to gain a sophisticated understanding of media—defined as the multiple channels, technologies, and interfaces through which stories, ideas, and emotions are recorded, produced, and distributed—and the ways that media shape our understanding of the world and our ability to act in it. Through the minor in Film and Media Studies, students develop media fluency: the ability to analyze, contextualize, create, and use media to express themselves and affect issues they care about.
