Since film is at once a cultural product and an individual creation, its study is approached from a variety of academic disciplines and critical perspectives. Courses in the Film Studies curriculum address such problems as the esthetics of silent film, the new cinema of Eastern Europe, women and film, film and revolution, Third World cinema and political change, and Film Noir. In both the M.A. and Ph.D. programs an individualized plan of study and research is designed for each student. Translation Students interested in the theory and practice of translation may follow an individualized plan of study that focuses on translation. Specific requirements are determined by the student's Advisory Committee.
