Film and Media Studies
Richard Gollin, Professor Emeritus of English, founded the film studies program at the University in 1976 with the assistance of a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. He headed the program until his retirement in 1989. The author of A Viewer’s Guide to Film: Art, Artifices, and Issues, Gollin also received recognition for his research and writings on Romantic poetry and the Victorian novel. While the program primarily serves undergraduates, the Film and Media Studies program does offer graduate courses.
Information about faculty and research can be found on the Film and Media Studies website.
