Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Media and Cinema Studies] From University of Illinois

The Department of Media and Cinema Studies in the College of Media offers a B.S. Degree in Media and Cinema Studies with two concentrations, Media Studies and Cinema Studies. Students from outside the College can earn an undergraduate Minor in Cinema Studies and a graduate Minor in Cinema Studies. College of Media students may not pursue the Minor in Cinema Studies.

Students in the Media and Cinema Studies program develop an understanding of modern communications, media, and cinema from an interdisciplinary perspective. They explore the theory behind contemporary media and the origins, structures and implications for our society. Students also address the history of media and cinema both in the United States and internationally. The development of all mediated forms is considered in light of more general concerns about technology, culture, society, and politics.
