Robert G. Goulet, Program Director

The Department of English offers a minor in Cinema Studies.

Mission of the Program

The program is devoted to the study of media and of formats related to the moving image, including recent developments in digital technology. Students will not only acquire the vocabulary necessary to a full appreciation of cinematic techniques but also develop an appreciation for the aesthetic and methodological values of the discipline. In addition, by implicitly acknowledging the intersections of art, technology, and commerce in cinematic texts, courses in the program help to prepare students for careers in the new age of global media institutions and projects.
