Film Studies Film Studies
BGSU’s multifaceted film program, first established in the 1970s, is now one of the most comprehensive in the country. The Film Studies major gives students a foundation in film history, aesthetics, and methods of analysis that illuminate global and cultural perspectives. Students in this major develop expertise in analyzing individual films, contemporary culture, and the film and media industry.
The film program is guided by best practices developed by the
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Teaching Media (EDIT Media) initiative, and students organize their projects with these principles in mind. Film students benefit from nationally recognized faculty, who bring years of research and experience to their teaching, and state-of-the-art classrooms and studio spaces in the Wolfe Center for the Arts.
