Emory University Created in 1985, the Film Studies program at Emory is an affiliate of the Graduate Institute of the Liberal Arts, with four full-time faculty members who are widely published and who teach a broad range of courses with a strong commitment to individualized education. The curriculum is comparable to that of the best small programs at private liberal arts universities across the country and offers a unique opportunity for graduate and undergraduate film study in a major urban center of more than two million people. Emory University's wooded campus is located in Druid Hills, an historic residential neighborhood of Atlanta. Easily accessible by bus and train from Emory, downtown Atlanta provides an exciting, progressive atmosphere with many recreational and cultural activities, including screenings of major commercial, international, and classic films.
Many theaters offer reduced rates for students.
Film studies courses are taught in the multimedia-equipped classrooms of White Hall and the Rich Memorial Building , which features 16mm, 35mm, 70mm, and video projection equipment, as well as state of the art sound systems. In addition to its comprehensive holdings, the Robert W. Woodruff Library has an extensive collection of international and American journals of criticism and history and microfilm copies of Exhibitor Trade Review,Harrison's Reports, Photoplay, Motion Picture Herald, Moving Picture World, Variety, The New York Times, the D. W. Griffith Papers and others.
