Major in Film Studies [ top ]
The Film Studies Committee is presently working toward establishing a Major in Film Studies. We encourage all students with an interest in film courses to express to the committee their desire for an expanded program. Such statements of interest from students are important in documenting the need for Film Studies and support the efforts of the faculty to establish a strong program at MU. You may send your e-mails to Roger Cook, Chair, Film Studies Committee.
