UWM College of Letters and Science offers a unique major and minor in
Film Studies. This interdisciplinary program is founded on a broad, international perspective on film, popular culture, and media forms, texts and global industries. In addition to courses stressing cultural, historical, and theoretical approaches, students can take advantage of a range of resources and opportunities to explore and deepen their understanding of contemporary and historically significant film and media, and take part in major festivals and symposia. Film Studies provides students with critical skills and multiple perspectives on historical and contemporary media forms. The major promotes the study of film and media in their aesthetic, social, cultural, political, and technological contexts and expands students' understanding of media as essential elements of our global cultural environment.
