Minor in Cinema
This program does not lead to a credential or degree but is intended to give students an opportunity to further their interests in cinema in an organized manner. Note: Cinema majors are given enrollment priority in Cinema production classes, hence Cinema minors are not likely to be able to take Cinema production classes.
