Bachelor of Arts - Cinema Studies

Cinema Studies is a unique interdisciplinary degree in which students take courses with internationally-recognized scholars and filmmakers in the School of Art and across the College of Arts & Sciences. UT's faculty members have been Pulitzer Prize and Oscar nominees, prizewinners at major film festivals—including Sundance—and awardees of numerous university teaching awards. In this major, students study the history and aesthetics of movies while also undertaking their own productions. In addition to coursework, many Cinema Studies students pursue internships at one of the many production companies based in Knoxville, while also participating in student filmmaking or cinema appreciation clubs.
