Johns Hopkins University Krieger School of Arts and Sciences 8 courses
Because the program emphasizes the historical, cultural, and social context of cinema, Film and Media Studies is an excellent program for undergraduates interested in a broadly humanistic education as well as for those preparing for a career in the field. A departmental faculty advisor assigned to each undergraduate student helps plan individual courses of study. Undergraduates are encouraged to participate fully in all departmental activities. All courses applied toward the major must be taken for a letter grade and a grade of C- or better must be earned. Courses taken at another institution that are not directly equivalent to a JHU course may not apply towards the major without permission of the Director of Undergraduate Studies. The requirements listed below are for students entering JHU in the Fall 2023 and later. Students who entered prior to Fall 2023 should refer to their catalogue year of entry in the archived catalogues.
