Students pursuing an international film studies minor study international history, politics, and culture through film. Students also develop skills in visual and narrative analysis and in analytical writing. Students may choose to combine film courses from diverse film traditions or to specialize in one or two film traditions.
Students pursuing the minor in international film studies who are also pursuing a major in film and media arts must take one additional elective course from the approved electives list to complete the minor. This course may not be double-counted toward the major in film and media arts.
