OTHER COURSES ELIGIBLE FOR FMST CREDIT
Film and Media Studies is an interdisciplinary field and a number of courses offered in other departments are eligible for credit towards the major or minor. In most cases, such courses use film and media as at least half of the course material, and students will be asked to do a majority of their individual work for the course on topics in film and media studies. Students must notify both the course instructor and the FMST department if they are applying for credit toward their program. A limited number of credits taken outside the department (this includes courses taken off campus at UPenn, Bryn Mawr or Haverford, abroad, or in the summer) towards the major or minor.
