Bachelor of Arts in English and Textual Studies - Film and Screen Studies Track

Syracuse University

From movie theaters to TV sets to smartphones, our contemporary world abounds in screens filled with moving images. The Film and Screen Studies Track in the English and Textual Studies major allows you to explore the rich and diverse histories of such ''screen culture'' and to develop the skills to interpret it. In our increasingly mediated world, the critical ability to analyze screen-based media-film, video, television, or digital games-has become a valuable skill for many professions and fields of study. Our courses in film and screen studies examine the cultural, social, and political contexts of these media forms and texts, using a range of critical, theoretical, and historical approaches to study them. The Film and Screen Studies track develops analytical and writing skills around film and screen media that are critical to a range of professions and careers, including arts criticism, advertising, media advocacy, media law, media management and production, film sales and distribution, game development and research, market research, librarianship and curation, archiving and preservation, publishing, and teaching.
