Additional Information

Every semester, the university offers a wide arrange of courses in film - except often times it can be difficult to figure out what is going on each semester with regards to film offerings, since they can take place in virtually every department of the College of Liberal Arts. Each semester, the E-Center for Cinema will attempt to give a comprehensive list for film students. Below is a list of film courses that have been approved for Studies in Cinema and Media Culture undergraduate majors. Keep in mind that these are not all courses about film - since other courses might have units that focus on film or have other topics related to the study of film not covered by the SCMC catalogue. 8000 level graduate courses are also not included in this list.
