Notes:

  1. Refer to College-Wide requirements when selecting 21 hours of elective courses.
  2. Students must be junior status and have a 2.8 GPA to declare the Film Studies Minor.
  3. Film Studies Majors must complete the 4th semester of a foreign language (see AREA F requirements at the UGA Bulletin Website). DRAM 2120 and 2130 should be taken in Area C.
  4. Film Studies Majors are encouraged to pursue a Minor in a foreign language, English, Comparative Literature, History, Art History, or Mass Communication, or a certificate of New Media Studies.
  5. Drama Majors may not declare the Film Studies Minor. The Regents demand that a minor area be distinct from the major courses. Since all Film Minor classes also count toward the Drama Major, the minor has never been available to Drama Majors.
