Minor: Film-Studies

Alicia Henry, M.F.A., Coordinator

Fisk University, through a collaborative agreement with Belmont University (formerly Watkins College of Art, Design & Film), offers a minor in film studies. This agreement allows students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs at Fisk University to earn a minor in film studies by cross -registering for courses offered at Belmont University.

Participating students must be in good standing in a baccalaureate degree program at Fisk University, and must apply to enroll in the minor in film studies program at Belmont University.

Students do not have to apply for admission to, or register at Belmont University (formerly Watkins College of Art, Design & Film).

To enroll in the minor of film studies, students must have completed CORE 150-English Composition I and ART 101 – Life Drawing and Composition (or their equivalent, as determined by Fisk University) – with a grade of “C” or better. These courses will be accepted as equivalent to the Watkins College of Art, Design & Film courses ENG 101 – English Composition I and ART 111– Drawing I, respectively, for the purpose of satisfying the course prerequisite requirements for the film studies courses included in the minor program of study.
