Important Announcements
Declaration of Major: When students declare a major in TFMS, by the spring semester of
their sophomore year, they must select a member of this department as their adviser. (Note: If a student has declared a double major and has selected a faculty advisor from his/her other major field of study, he/she need not select an adviser from TFMS, although we strongly recommend that the student consult a faculty member in TFMS about his/her course of study within the department.) Read the requirements for the major in theater studies. Read the requirements for the major in film and media studies.
Declaration of the Minor: When students declare a minor in theater studies or in film and media studies, no later than the fall semester of their senior year, they should inform the department chair of their intent to do so. Faculty in TFMS encourage students interested in minoring in either focus area to declare the minor before their senior year. Read the requirements for the minor in theater studies and in film and media studies.
Theater, Film, and Media Studies Open House: At the beginning of each fall semester, a meeting of all declared majors and minors and interested students will be held in the Bruce Davis Theater. This meeting is mandatory for declared TFMS majors. Announcements of this meeting will be posted on the bulletin board outside the Box Office and on the scene shop door (MH 166) specifying date and time
TFMS Night: Each May, TFMS sponsors TFMS Night to showcase student work in the performing arts and in film and media at St. Mary's College. Department faculty encourage the participation and attendance of all TFMS majors. Read more about TFMS Night.
