The Cinema Studies Program at Northeastern is unique in the Boston area in offering a broad interdisciplinary curriculum.
Students who choose the Cinema Studies minor or the Graduate Certificate in Cinema Studies learn to approach the film and television medium from a range of aesthetic, historical, international, and sociological perspectives. They also learn to integrate these analytical approaches with practical experience in videography and the study of broadcast technology.
The diverse course offerings and carefully structured program have enabled our graduates to do well in the ever-expanding world of video production, distribution, and marketing, as well as to pursue careers as film scholars and teachers. To date, dual majors between Cinema Studies and Communication Studies, Cinema Studies and Journalism, Cinema Studies and English, Cinema Studies and Modern Languages, as well as Cinema Studies and Theatre have been approved.
A student may petition to combine the Cinema Studies dual major requirements with other majors in the University.
