----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hunter College's Film Program is housed within the Department of Theatre and Film. How equal the footing is depends on who you talk to. When I studied there (1987-1990) there were roughly ten tenured profs. in the Theatre Division and only three in the Film Program, though enrollment in the Film Program was three times greater than in the Theatre Program. As a film student, I felt discriminated against: Theatre students had a better selection of courses and more sections of those courses, and the credit requirement for a Theatre major was half that of the requirement for a Film Production major (a whopping 42 credits-- I believe the highest in the college!) Anyway, the three tenured professors we had were excellent, and a majority of the adjuncts hired to teach the technical courses were great. The Department of Communications offers all the television and media classes separately.
