The Film and Media Studies department at Dartmouth College offers a wide range of courses in the theory, history, and criticism of film and television as well as a number of courses in film and video production, digital media, and screenwriting. The major provides a common basis for all students in the theory, history, and criticism of film, television and new media, and at least one course with a production component. Beyond this, the major allows students to shape their own emphasis (for instance, history and criticism or screenwriting).
