In Screen Arts & Cultures, we create and study the moving image as seen on multiple screens—on the big screens of movie palaces, the cineplex, the art house and the film festival; on small screens ensconced in mammoth fifties consoles and those of giant flat screened visual glory; and on the technological wonders of the increasingly expansive and diminutive screens of the computer monitor. With a strong undergraduate curriculum of production and studies, a burgeoning doctoral program in screen arts and a faculty of award winning scholars and media makers, Screen Arts and Cultures offers a vibrant intellectual and artistic community here in the Midwest/Great Lakes region.
