Whether as a concentration within the Department of Fine and Performing Arts or part of Saint Joseph’s program in Communications Studies we are proud to present our courses in Film Studies and Digital Media Production. Committed to the core values of both the university and department, the concentration aims to develop an awareness of moving images within artistic and cultural contexts and to develop critically engaged thinkers, artists, and communication professionals.
Students concentrating in Film and Digital Media will fulfill their major requirements through a similar ten-course sequence that is required of all Fine and Performing Arts.
