The Film Minor

The minor in Film and Digital Media offers a foundation in visual culture and contributes important scholarly techniques of value to other disciplines. To declare the F&DM minor, students must complete Film 20A and one other F&DM lower-division course. Students earn a minor in Film and Digital Media by completing eight courses: two lower-division courses and six upper-division courses, including four from the core curriculum of the general major and two electives. There is no production component in the minor nor is there a comprehensive requirement.

Declared F&DM minors are able to enroll in the core curriculum courses (Film 120 and all of the courses in the 130s). All other upper-division courses in critical studies are restricted to F&DM majors. Minors who have satisfied the course prerequisites must attend the first class meeting and be given permission by the instructor to be admitted to upper-division courses outside the core curriculum.
