Associate in Arts - Film and Media Studies

The Film and Media Studies major, leading to an AA degree, focuses on historical and critical studies in the field of film and related media. The program is designed to introduce students to film literature and criticism and to provide them with a basic knowledge of motion picture history, including the work of major American and international directors. Electives enhance this course of study by exposing students to the principles, technology and techniques of motion picture production. The goal of the program is to encourage a critical attitude toward moving image media through theoretical studies, critical analysis and historical and cross-cultural examination.
