Liberal Arts and Sciences: Cinema Studies

The BA in Cinema Studies offers students the opportunity to receive both theoretical and applied education in cinema. It is a highly interdisciplinary program, allowing students to explore different facets of this area of study and work toward reaching their career and postgraduate education goals. Graduates of the program are prepared for both entry jobs in the industry and graduate study.

The Cinema Studies program aims to add distinctive value to our students through the study and practice of filmmaking and thus deepen their understanding of cinema’s relationship to society and culture. In particular, the Cinema Studies program invites students from diverse cultural backgrounds to assess and assimilate different ways of studying cinema, its history, aesthetics, and practice. Our faculty members bring diverse professional and academic experience to the classroom through knowledge and training that helps students acquire an understanding of cinema as an artistic medium and cultural product, as well as develop preproduction, production, and post-production skills. The program is facilitated by workshops, masterclasses, visiting lectures, and participation in industry or other relevant events.
