----------------------------Original message---------------------------- ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Are there colleges/universities in the US that have Departments where Film/Media programs coexist with Theatre programs, on a relatively equal footing ? Dan, which is to say [log in to unmask] Response: The Communication Arts and Sciences department at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI houses both theatre and film studies programs. Students majoring the department all identify a "concentration" in film, theatre, rhetoric, telecommunications, or film. All students take a common intro course, a theory class in their concentration and a common senior seminar with students from different concentrations. The film offerings include intro, history and theory courses and the concentration overlaps with the telecommunications one. Based on interest students can take elective courses in other concentrations. The film concentration is only three years old; the theatre emphasis more established although the actual number of major are close in numbers.
