Minor in Film & Television

Students must take 28 credits toward the Film & Television minor, including a prerequisite of COM FT 201, the core Film & Television course, with a minimum grade of C. All other courses must be taken with a C– or higher in order to count toward the minor. Two other requirements include COM FT 310, a screenwriting course, and COM FT 250 or FT 303, a choice of studies courses. The remaining 16 credits would be fulfilled by taking a combination of FT courses related to production, writing, management and producing, and film & television studies. These electives must be at the 300 level or higher.
