Welcome to the Film and Media Studies Program

The Film and Media Studies Program at Tufts University teaches media literacy through the liberal arts. You will learn about the history, theory, production, and cultural importance of film, television and other media. And, in fulfilling the FMS major or minor, you will become a more discerning and active user of media — able to understand and employ them as powerful art forms that can change society for the better.
