Film and Media Studies Minor Requirements
The requirements below are for students who enter JHU in Fall 2023 or after.
Students who entered JHU prior to Fall 2023 should refer to their catalogue year of entry for their minor requirements as they are not following the requirements below.
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 mentor assigned to each undergraduate major helps plan individual courses of study. Undergraduates are encouraged to participate fully in all departmental activities.
All courses applied toward the minor must be taken for a letter grade and a grade of C- or better must be earned. A maximum of one class taken outside Film and Media Studies (AS.061) can count toward these requirements. Courses taken at another institution that are not directly equivalent to a JHU course may not apply towards the minor without permission of the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
