Film Studies Requirements (BA/BS)

¹

An approved minor is required for this major.

The curriculum in the Film Studies major is flexible and allows students to move through the coursework in many ways. This four-year plan illustrates one possible path a student could take to complete a degree in four years. This is not an official document and is not the only way that a Film Studies degree can be completed in four years. Current students should refer to their individual Academic Advising Report for specific graduation requirements. Courses in bold indicate major-based coursework. 

Notes: The math and English courses you will take during your first year will depend on exam scores. This four-year plan reflects the math and English courses most common for students in this major. All students are encouraged to provide test scores prior to attending Warhawks SOAR (Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration). For the Bachelor of Arts degree requirements, students must complete two semesters of a world language or demonstrate proficiency in a world language through the second level on the UW System placement test in Spanish, French, or German. Students who are native speakers of a language other than English are eligible to waive the language requirement. Opportunities: Film Studies students have the opportunity to acquire video and audio production skills by signing up for either a certificate in Video Production or a minor or second major in Communication-Electronic Media.
