Overview

Areas of Study

The Cinema Studies program of the University of Colorado at Boulder is designed to give students a solid knowledge of the history and aesthetics of international film, as well as exposure to the various methodological approaches of cinema studies as an academic discipline. Cinema studies courses take a multi-faceted approach comprised of film screenings, readings and lectures, while students are expected to practice their film analysis skills in writing assignments and class discussion.
Like many programs in the Arts and Humanities, the BA program in cinema studies aims more broadly to teach two fundamental skills: critical thinking and writing ability. These skills are developed in our program specifically through the examination of films, but they are also broadly useful well beyond the realm of cinema studies. Students also have the option to pursue a BA with emphasis in production. The BA program enrolls approximately 425 majors.
