The Film Studies MA program is perfect for students seeking advanced study in film theory and history who may not yet meet PhD program requirements or prefer additional preparation. Over four semesters, MA candidates receive competitive funding while acquiring practical teaching experience and developing the scholarly competencies needed for potential PhD studies. Our alumni include distinguished academics, with numerous graduates advancing to doctoral programs at our institution and other prestigious universities nationwide.
This program offers an intensive exploration of film theory and historical analysis, culminating in a substantial MA thesis. The approximately 6,000-word thesis, structured as an academic journal article, trains students to create original, publication-ready research that contributes meaningfully to the field.
