Dartmouth College. Department of Film and Media Studies
Biography
Although film as been a part of the Dartmouth curriculum since the early 20th century, the Film Studies Program was not created until 1972, with the arrival of two professors dedicated to instruction in film. The coursework was associated with the Drama Department, and in 1988 the department became Drama and FIlm Studies. In 1999, Film and Television Studies became its own department, with a subsequent name change to Film and Media Studies in 2008.
