Requirements:
(as stated in the MHC Course Catalog 2006-2007)

The major is comprised of ten courses (40 credits), one of which may be a component course (a course that is at least one-third film intensive). Of these ten courses, at least two (but no more than five) must be taken outside the College.

Courses:
1. One introduction to film course (normally taken on the home campus)
2. One film history course (either a general, one-semester survey or a course covering approximately 50 years of international film history)
3. One film theory course
4. One film genre course
5. One national or transnational cinema or authorship (generally a single director or group of directors) course
6. One special topics course (may be a component course)
7. One advanced seminar in a special topic
8. One film, video, or digital production course, but no more than two courses may be used toward the major.
9. Two electives from any of the above categories
In the course of fulfilling the program of study, at least one course must focus on non-narrative film (documentary or experimental), and at least four courses should be at the advanced level. Courses can fit into more than one category, but a single course may not be used to satisfy two of the numbered requirements.

Other:
* A thesis is optional.
