Cinema Studies
The Cinema Studies concentration within the Media Studies Program at Mercy University allows students to interpret various societies through the movies they produce.
Students have the opportunity to study films and discover how they reflect the broader culture. Additionally, students explore how films have influenced society throughout history in various world cultures from Hollywood and beyond. This concentration engages students to think, speak, and write about film/culture and film history while considering theoretical approaches to filmmaking.
