Bachelor in Film & Media Studies

at Smith College

Film and Media Studies seeks to understand the moving image—something that we engage with, use to communicate, and are entertained by, almost every day. Simply watching lots of media does not teach us how media works, and how media works on us—as individuals and as a culture. Film and Media Studies deals with the study of the moving image in everything from cinema to television to video art to the internet to video games and well beyond—any moving image that can be seen on any kind of screen.
