Academics
Loyola's international film and media studies major includes 42 course credits in either a media studies or production track. Both tracks begin with three required foundation courses and conclude with a senior project or practicum.
Media studies involves coursework in four additional areas: international cinema history; critical theory, genre and movements; media and society; and production.
Production involves coursework in the same four areas, but in a different distribution. Production coursework in this track is comprised of 12 credit hours of required production in photography, video or film production, audio production and the practicum, and 12 additional credit hours of advanced production courses in topics including: documentary video production, cinematography and computer graphics.
In addition to fulfilling major requirements to earn an undergraduate degree, students are required to complete Loyola's Core Curriculum, which teaches them important skills and values. They also develop their own interests by taking general electives.
