Introduction
Welcome to the Department of Theater, Film, and Media Studies (TFMS) at St. Mary's College of Maryland. This handbook will serve as a guide to familiarize students with the procedures and policies of the department. It contains information that will be useful to majors, minors, prospective majors and minors, and others who wish to participate in the various curricula and activities of the department. Included in the following pages are an outline of the requirements of the TFMS majors in theater studies and in film and media studies and the TFMS minors in theater studies, film and media studies, and dance/movement; a description of opportunities available to all St. Mary's students who plan a course of study in the department; and an explanation of the responsibilities that accompany these requirements and opportunities.
Students majoring in theater studies or in film and media studies are responsible for knowing and understanding all department and college requirements for graduation, and for following all procedures and regulations of TFMS as outlined in this handbook or elsewhere on the department Web site.
