Analytical courses with an interpretive and research orientation are offered
at the 300 level. Courses in media practice and production, offered at the 200
level, develop creative and expository media skills.
Students majoring in media studies must take MEDIA 180, which is prerequisite
for all other media studies courses but does not count toward the major. In addition
to MEDIA 180, students must complete a total of 24 cr. At least 12 cr must be
taken in the analytical segment of the curriculum (300-level MEDIA courses). A
maximum of 12 cr from the media practice and production segment of the curriculum
(200-level courses) may be applied to the 24-cr major. FILM/MEDIA 151 is prerequisite
to all video produc tion courses, but it does not count toward major requirements.
A maximum of 6 cr in FILM at the 200 or 300 level, 3 cr of which may be in
production, may be applied toward the major in media studies. Film analysis courses
at the 200 or 300 level are equivalent to 300-level MEDIA courses. One film production
course at either the 200 or 300 level can substitute for one of the four media
practice and production courses allowable at the 200 level. Students must meet
any prerequisites for these courses.
Courses in Independent Study, Honors Project, and Internship do not count toward
the major. Students should consult a program advisor to plan choice and sequence
of courses.

minor which includes 6 cr at any level, 3 cr at the 200 or 300 level, and 3 cr
at the 300 level. Minors must be completed within one department. Students should
consult with a departmental advisor in the choice of a minor. Three cr of the
minor may also be used to fulfill a distribution requirement.
Double Majors Students may choose to complete a major in the Department of
Film and Media Studies and a second major in another department. A student with
a double major does not need to complete a minor in a third department.
Electives All courses in the department may be taken toward a minor or as electives
by students with majors in other departments, provided that the necessary prerequisites
have been met. In certain circumstances these prerequisites can be waived with
permission of the instructor.
