The Certificate Program in Business of Media and Film Studies (BMFS) prepares students to be successful in their post-college careers by uniting the study of Business with the study of a popular, accessible, and pertinent area within the Humanities, Film Studies. Business students will have more sustained study in humanistic inquiry, both of their own field and of the diverse world that the Humanities investigates. Letters and Science students will have access to professional school curricula to help them be better equipped to enter a workforce that demands flexibility and a diversity of knowledge and experience.
The certificate in BMFS includes coursework engaging the financial and industry practices and structures in film and television. It is an interdisciplinary academic program consisting of an introductory course in Film or Television Studies, introductory courses in Business Administration (accounting, management, and marketing), an intermediate level Film Studies course focused on history and representational analysis, and a set of electives from Business Administration and Film Studies.
