Minor in Cinema Studies Cinema Studies at the University of Illinois is an interdisciplinary curriculum with courses offered in a variety of departments. The Minor is structured to provide students with certain core courses in the discipline while also allowing them the freedom to explore the various approaches to the subject presented by different departments. Students should consult the Associate Director of the Unit for Cinema Studies for more information on the Minor. The Unit publishes schedules of Cinema Studies courses offered each semester which may be used to fulfill the requirements of the Minor. The Minor requires a minimum of twenty-one hours distributed over seven courses as follows: CINE 104 (ENGL 104) Intro to Film or CINE 273 (ENGL 273) Intermediate Film Studies. CINE 261 Survey of World Cinema, I and CINE 262 Survey of World Cinema, II. Two foreign cinema courses. (Courses are regularly offered on African, Chinese, French, German, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Russian/East European, and Swedish cinemas. Please note that all Cinema Studies courses are taught in English.) Two additional cinema studies courses. At least six hours of advanced (300 or 400) level courses must be included in the above. Declaring a Minor: A student in any College may pursue a Minor in Cinema Studies. In order to do so, the student must inform his or her College Office of that intention with a Statement of Intent to Pursue a Campus-Approved Minor. A special section dealing with the Minor requirements will subsequently appear on any Academic Advising Report the student receives. More information and down-loadable forms may be found on the Provost's Undergraduate Minors web page. Contact the Associate Director of the Unit for Cinema Studies for specific information or clarification on the Cinema Studies Minor itself. NOTE: Any course taken on the illinois campus to fulfill the requirements of the Cinema Studies Minor must be a course officially approved by the Unit for Cinema Studies. Approved courses appear on the printed lists published by the Unit for Cinema Studies at Advanced Registration each semester and on this web site. A cinema course transferred from another institution will be considered on an individual basis if it has not already been approved as a substitute for a specific illinois course.
