The Cinema Studies Institute offers a Master of Arts and a Doctor of Philosophy in Cinema Studies.
The course-based, one-year M.A. program offers students the option of a professional internship or a major research paper.
The Ph.D. program addresses the changing role of moving image media within global culture.
Past and present configurations of cinema are studied through a constellation of theoretical, textual, social, and historical rubrics. The core curricular offerings engage with debates and questions that persist within the scholarship while also examining how the field contends with emerging disciplinary issues and new intermedial formats. Throughout, the synthesis of history and theory, textual analysis and cultural study are emphasized.
