Robert G. Goulet, Program Director
The Department of English offers a minor in
Cinema Studies.
Mission
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.
Curriculum
Students in the Cinema Studies program take at
least six courses, which must include one 200 –
level introductory course (see the list below), at
least three 300 – level courses (see the list
