Overview

The Film program at Howard University places primary emphasis on the rigorous study of all aspects of film production with attention to vital areas such as film history, the role of film in society, film theory and film criticism.

With a global approach, the program attracts an international mix of students, including many from countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Middle East.
