Overview

Here at Loyola Marymount University in the Film, TV and Media Studies program you’ll explore the many ways that visual media reflect, shape, and question cultural values, attitudes, and beliefs, including but not limited to representations of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, and nationality.

Key Features

Through the film/media texts we screen, along with class discussions and assigned readings, we aim to deepen students’ understanding of a variety of cultures, national histories, and religious viewpoints.
To supplement your studies you can choose from among a variety of minors, electives, and study abroad programs. Whether you’re interested in trying out hands-on filmmaking, writing, theater, political science, psychology, or the humanities, you can customize your coursework to match your interests and ambitions.
This degree will prepare you well for working as a film historian, critic, or archivist. And it's also a great foundation for pursuing a job in journalism, academia, and many other fields.
