Courses

The Film Studies minor draws upon the wide variety of film-related activities and resources available at Eckerd College, provides a strong complement to several major fields of study in the humanities and the arts, and offers an excellent opportunity for majors in the natural and social sciences to complement their focus with studies and applications that emphasize creativity, interpretation, and humanistic studies. It requires six courses, including two core courses (Elements of Film and Introduction to Filmmaking), one additional course in the area of film analysis and another in film production, and two electives. The minor requirements are as follows:

  • Introductory course: FI 200 Elements of Film
