Admission:
Students are admitted into the Film Studies major at the end of your Sophomore Year, when they have accumulated at least 50 overall credit hours with a minimum Q.P.A. of 2.0. Prospective majors will also need to take 3 courses within the major with a minimum Q.P.A. of 2.5 before declaring the major.
Transfer students and continuing students who have accumulated 50 or more credit hours overall will be able to declare the major provisionally until they are able to complete the courses within the major. This will insure that students declaring the interdisciplinary major have both the breadth and particular preparation to succeed in the major. To facilitate the articulation of transfer courses into the Major, the advisor will confer with each of the incoming transfer students.
