Independent Study is an opportunity to earn academic credit for learning outside the formal class structure. A student who is interested in knowing more about a topic not covered in the regular Department of Cinema Studies & Moving Image Arts curriculum may propose a research project to any rostered department faculty member. If the student and faculty member can agree that the topic is worth investigating, it is not covered (or not covered in sufficient depth) in departmental courses, and that they share sufficient interest in the topic to sustain an independent study project, the student and faculty member may prepare an independent study contract.

The Department of Cinema Studies and Moving Image Arts recognizes our increasingly media-dependent and screen-seeking society and understands the making, distribution, contextualization, and interrogation of visual media in all its forms is an everyday reality. We believe our students and faculty must understand the political nature and inequities embedded in technology, as well as in its content and global dissemination patterns. Our Department has the great opportunity and the tremendous responsibility of fostering an environment in which the creation, interpretation, analysis and engagement with the moving image will open the doors of diversity and inclusivity with every step and at every level.Ìý
