Film and Media Studies B.A./Communication, Film and Media Concentration, M.A.

Return to: School of Film, Media & Theatre 

The school offers a dual B.A. in Film and Media / M.A. in Communication with a concentration in Film and Media. The dual degree opportunity enables qualified students to enroll in graduate courses late in their undergraduate program and count the coursework toward both the bachelor’s and master’s programs.

Students must be formally accepted into the Dual Degree program by the school and the College of the Arts to be able to take graduate courses as an undergraduate. Admission to the Dual Degree program occurs during the fall and spring semesters. Additionally, acceptance into the Dual Degree program does not constitute admission to the master’s program. Students must fulfill regular graduate admissions requirements and apply for the master’s program following college processes.

Critical Thinking Through Writing Requirement

All students are required to complete one Critical Thinking Through Writing (CTW) course as part of the major. The university formerly required two CTW courses. Students following previous catalog requirements who have passed one CTW course in the major should consult with their senior academic advisor to determine which courses may be used as a substitution for the other formerly required CTW course.
