The Film
Studies Certificate Program at The Graduate Center is grounded in several
convictions: that every cultivated person shares the heritage of world cinema
as much as of the other arts; that film is a particularly relevant twentieth
century art form; that "literacy" in cinema is a prerequisite to a
richer understanding of films; that film is related to and illuminates other
academic fields and disciplines; and that prospective teachers in many disciplines
are better equipped to teach aspects of that discipline if they have some
knowledge of film and the modes of theoretical and critical discourse about
it. The
Certificate Program in Film Studies will provide students with the critical
skills and knowledge needed to comprehend cinema as a discrete discipline
with its own methodology. In addition, the required courses are designed to
provide historical, theoretical, and critical perspectives on the cinema
derived from a variety of disciplines. The Graduate Center
