Film and Media Studies
Major and Minor
The study of film and media fosters critical understanding and historical
knowledge of film and other forms of the moving image, as well as their
relationship to culture, society, and the arts. Approaching film and
media as enduring art forms, as artifacts of social and cultural import,
and as vital means of creative expression, majors explore this most crucial
component of how we see our world.
Highlights of the Hopkins Program
The Film and Media Studies Program offers courses in film and media history
and theory, film production, and screenwriting. Working closely with
faculty and other students, majors gain a comprehensive understanding
of film and media as both subjects for study and as creative texts;
many graduating majors pursue advanced degrees in film, filmmaking,
or screenwriting, as well as careers within the film and television
industries. Beyond a small core faculty, the program draws on faculty
from a wide range of other disciplines, among them English, German,
History, The Humanities Center, Philosophy, Romance Languages, and
The Writing Seminars.
