Bachelor of Arts in Cinema and Screen Studies

SUNY Oswego

Cinema and screen studies focuses on the history, theory and criticism of cinema, as well as of new and pre-cinematic screen media, with a sequence in screenwriting and digital film production. The program incorporates interdisciplinary options that allow you to link studies of moving images to exciting developments in cognitive science, computer and information sciences, and the other humanities, fine arts and social sciences.Use the course learning agreement to focus on your own interests - whether that means acting, design, computer animation, the psychological and social effects of moving images, media literacy and education - or the connections among information science, the natural sciences and visual technologies. Create a public exhibition of a film or video project - or a public reading and discussion of a research project or screenplay - to fulfill your capstone course requirement. Oswego's program regularly shows at, and sometimes hosts, the SUNY-wide Film Festival.
