Film Studies at Claremont McKenna<\/h2>\n

The program emphasizes the history, theory, and critical assessment of film, especially in terms\u00a0of its impact upon, and reflection of, contemporary culture and society. The interdisciplinary\u00a0nature of the program allows students to connect the study of film to other interests, and, in\u00a0cooperation with the other Claremont Colleges, to combine studies in theory and criticism with\u00a0experience in film production.<\/p>\n

The major in Film Studies is completed as part of a dual major with another academic field. The\u00a0major requires six courses in film studies, together with at least eight courses in the other field.\u00a0In consultation with the CMC faculty advisor, students design a program which combines\u00a0courses in film with those in another discipline. For further information on dual majors and the
\nrequirements of the other field of study of the dual major, please check the appropriate\u00a0sections of this catalog. Each student majoring in film studies must obtain approval of their\u00a0program from the CMC program chair, Professor Morrison<\/a>. For more information, see the college’s own site.<\/a><\/p>\n
