Film Studies

Film Studies at the University of Wisconsin Green Bay offers an innovative Minor in Film Studies, embracing a multifaceted approach in which students experience cinema from critical and practical perspectives and have the opportunity to select an emphasis that suits their own curiosities and long-term goals as critics and makers. At UWGB, we encourage students to understand cinema as an art, a business, and a technology, and our curriculum engages students in the history, theory, and production of cinema in a variety of contexts, from local to global. As future professionals and critics, Film Students at UWGB develop the creative and critical skills that make them agile participants in all areas of media art and are prepared to serve their communities in meaningful ways. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of film studies, our courses offer a holistic grounding, and the minor is responsive to a number of majors and minors, including the Humanities, English, Communications, First Nation Studies, Writing and Applied Arts, Theater, Design, Arts Management, and Modern Languages.
