MA Film Studies

The Department of Film Studies offers a two-year Master of Arts degree in the history, theory, and aesthetics of cinema. Our comprehensive curriculum offers advanced classes in film style, historiography, global cinema, and film production. Students work closely with faculty to develop an individualized course of study that supports their research agenda and leads them to a culminating thesis. Students also complete an applied learning experience, which may involve teaching, festival programming, conference planning, magazine and journal publishing, or professional writing.
