Working in 电影 and 媒体研究

As Elizabeth Van Ness noted in a New York Times 艺术icle titled “Is a Cinema 研究 Degree the New M.B.A.?,” the language of film is fast becoming a basic professional skill like 写作 or public speaking.

A minor in film and media studies prepares students for almost any career in which analysis, 写作, 阅读, 研究, and communication skills are important. A major in a traditional discipline with a minor in film studies would be attractive to graduate schools and professions in communications and the media.
