The Major
Majors in theater studies and in film and media studies will complete a core of regularly offered courses that exemplifies the diversity of subjects and cultures entailed in their field of study. The two focuses, theater studies and film and media studies, share some courses that are fundamental to both curricula, but each focus includes opportunities for advanced work in specialized areas of scholarship and artistry. Above all, majors will benefit from an array of course work that emphasizes the reciprocal enrichments of combining scholarship and creative activity. Visiting guests and special topics or experimental courses supplement the regular curriculum.
The curriculum in theater, film, and media studies e
ncourages students to interrogate representations on stage and screen toward an understanding of their historical, cultural, and artistic significance. Additionally, we provide opportunities for students to produce their own works and to collaborate on projects with faculty members and other students. Majors will be prepared to undertake graduate work in related disciplines or careers in related professions.
A minor in theater studies and in film and media studies is available for those students who wish to pursue a concentrated course of study in these areas, but who choose not to major in either curriculum. Students interested in fulfilling a minor in theater studies or in film and media studies should consult with a faculty member in TFMS.
