Film
Studies Minor at West Georgia
In
Spring 2006, a committee from several departments in the College of Arts
and Sciences proposed the formation of an interdisciplinary Film Studies
Minor at the University of West Georgia. The description for the proposed
minor is as follows:
The film minor at the University of West Georgia
is designed to educate and inspire students interested in film. The addition
of a film minor to the curriculum will complement the University of West
Georgia’s strong liberal arts tradition. The minor consists of a series
of courses from departments including English and Philosophy, Foreign Languages
and Literatures, History, Mass Communications and Theatre Arts, and Psychology.
These courses are designed to provide students with a solid background
in the history, technical analysis, aesthetics and cultural significance
of film. As an interdisciplinary minor, film studies encourages students
to explore further the rich and diverse aesthetic, philosophical, historical,
and cultural expressions articulated in films.
Core Courses:
FILM 2080: Introduction to the Art
of Film
FILM 2100: History and Theory of
Film
