Motion Picture Studies combines the
verbal and written skills of an English degree (always in demand
by employers) with media literacy: the ability to engage critically
with visual media, and read and write about it and for it.
We live in a visual age. Both the public and private sectors
require employees with media literacy, and students who take Motion
Picture Studies courses will understand visual culture as a means
of expression, persuasion and entertainment.
With
a Motion Picture Studies Concentration, you will be prepared for
jobs in advertising, politics, the military, business and government;
institutions that use visual productions (as well as traditional
texts) to promote products, sway voters, and engage audiences.
Film screenings, visiting filmmakers, interdisciplinary opportunities,
a low student-faculty ratio and classes with film scholars, and
a Hollywood screenwriter, provide a stimulating and enriching
educational environment.
