*Applicable depending on topic; consult with program director.

Since the minor draws from courses in other disciplinary areas and restricts the application of courses used in the major, the program director's written approval is needed to confirm those courses used to complete the film and television studies minor. 

Notes on the film and television studies minor:

  • Excluding COMM/ENGL 329, no more than three courses may come from one discipline.
  • Only one course applied to a student's major may also be used to satisfy a requirement in the film and television studies minor.
  • A grade point average of 2.00 is required for all courses taken in residence that may be applied to the minor.
