Film Studies Certificate Program
The Certificate Program in Film Studies is open to students matriculating in all
doctoral programs at The Graduate Center. The program aims to develop a
studentís basic familiarity with the history, theory, and criticism of the
cinema as a medium and art form. Specific emphasis is placed on developing
student competence in methods of historical research using film materials,
awareness of the rich classical and contemporary traditions of film theoretical
discourse, and cultivating skills in analyzing and interpreting films in a
rigorous manner. In order to earn the Certificate, students must take two of the
three 700-level courses as specified in The Graduate Center Bulletin as well as
the Seminar in Film Theory. All of these courses may be taken without
prerequisite. In addition, two more electives in film in any department complete
the Certificate requirements. The Certificate is awarded when the Ph.D. is
conferred.
