Honors Program in Screen Studies

Students with a strong interest and commitment to advanced study in the program and who have completed at least six screen-studies courses with at least a B+ average, may, with the program’s approval, elect the honors sequence: one advanced topics capstone course and a one- or two-unit senior thesis. Students are expected to use the honors course to develop an extensive research project on some aspect of film history, criticism or theory selected with their major adviser. Students planning to go on to graduate work in screen studies are encouraged to apply for the honors sequence.

All students interested in the honors sequence must apply to the screen-studies program director in the second semester of the junior year.
