| The Film and Video minor provides a critical focus for interdisciplinary studies of core cultural issues, including those addressing the diversity of modes of conceptualization, social identity, questions on the cultural implications of technology, aesthetic development, and conceptualization of history, among others. The minor draws courses from several departments, including Art, Communication and Journalism, English, History, Modern Language and Classics, New Media, Political Science, and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
Students in the minor will have options of pursuing intersecting paths addressing history, theory, and practice, so that they could best focus the minor to their major and other studies. The minor requires a minimum of 18 credits, as follows (please visit catalog.umaine.edu for course descriptions): |
