Bachelors in Cinema Studies

One of the first programs of its kind at a liberal arts college, the Cinema Studies Program introduces students to the craft, history and cultural meaning of film, television, and digital media. Students work with faculty mentors and with their peers to make nonfiction, animation, experimental and live-action fiction films of professional quality, many of which have screened at leading festivals. They also study the history and theory of cinema within a campus community that prizes public engagement with pressing questions of history and contemporary culture. Integrating the creative and critical study of media, the Cinema Studies Program offers our majors the technical training to make first-rate films and the intellectual formation to understand why they matter.
