The BA in Media and Cinema Studies strategically combines the faculty expertise, curricula and facilities of media areas in Communication, CTI (e.g., Digital Cinema), and other University units to provide students with the critical frameworks, creative opportunities and technological expertise to become socially responsible leaders in the growing and converging areas of multimedia. The major combines a rich course selection in four areas of study: film, radio, tv, and new media. Coursework combines theory and critical analysis with production courses taught at both the Lincoln Park (e.g., radio) and Loop campuses (e.g., television/video or cinema).
