SINCE THEIR FIRST SUCCESSFUL projection a century ago, motion pictures have grown into a significant medium of entertainment, business, education, persuasion, and art. In varying degrees, films have reflected, criticized, and shaped the world of the twentieth century; they continue to do so today. The Cinema Studies Program, recognizing the profound significance of the cinema and its offshoot, television, in the modern age, has designed a minor in Cinema Studies with the aims of a liberal arts education in mind. Because the cinema has aesthetic, philosophical, historical, political, social, literary, technological, cultural, and economic implications, the program draws from a number of disciplines in different colleges to enable students to examine the cinema from a variety of perspectives.
