Film & New Media
Communication, technology, and art are ever-evolving, creating and shaping industries and cultures in new ways. Carthage prepares students for this landscape of the future.
Within this minor, students may choose to pursue coursework that emphasizes the discipline of film (film production and screenwriting), the discipline of new media (video art, sound art, light, computational and interactive art, and other new media and time-based forms), or a combination of film and new media classes. Students have the option to enhance their image-making skills with photography and their new media development skills with computer science courses.
Concentrated Curriculum
The film and new media minor is a cross-departmental minor offering a concentrated curriculum in film and new media through the Art and Communication and Digital Media Departments, with supplementary classes in computer science. This blend of disciplines and complementary courses will assist students in making connections within and between fundamental characteristics of new media practices and filmmaking. Within this minor, students may choose to pursue coursework that emphasizes studio and production work, aesthetics, and media theory.
State-of-the-art Facilities
A Makerspace is offered through the Hedberg Library several times a week. Current opportunities include 3D printing, macro photography, stop motion animation, and elementary robotics.
“Carthage faculty have been really easy to talk to and approach. They are excited to see a student pursue things within their department and always make the time to assist students in their career journey.”
