The minor in Film Studies allows students to unite classes devoted to the analysis of cinema both as a unique art form in its own right, and as a medium influenced and shaped by related fields such as literature and the visual arts.

Eligible courses are housed under units such as: East Asian, English, French and Italian, Film Studies, German, History of Art, Slavic/Eastern European, Spanish and Portuguese, and Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies. The minor requires an introductory course plus an additional four courses. Up to six credits may overlap with the GE.
