Potential opportunity for undergraduate Slavists considereing grad school

[Nancy Condee]

Dear colleagues,

We are just launching (admissions for Fall 2012) a new Film Studies PhD that
might appeal to Slavic or Russian studies students interested in graduate
school.  Without additional time-to-degree, it is possible to get an
interdisciplinary PhD in Slavic and Film Studies at Pitt.  Our film faculty
include such distinguished faculty at Colin MacCabe, Lucy Fischer, and
Marcia Landy.  See the information below.  Our own departmental link is

THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH FILM STUDIES PROGRAM ANNOUNCES A NEW
INTERDISCIPLINARY PHD DEGREE IN FILM STUDIES

The PhD in Film Studies at the University of Pittsburgh is an
interdisciplinary and interdepartmental degree that stresses the history,
theory, and aesthetics of international cinema, video, television, and new
media.  While the student will earn a PhD in Film Studies (granted by the
Film Studies Program), he or she will also be a full member of one of six
Associated Departments (English, French, German, Hispanic, History of Art
and Architecture, or Slavic), fulfilling its requirements (many of which
will overlap with those in Film Studies). The name of the Associated
Department will appear as an Area of Concentration on the student's
transcript.  Thus, the student graduating with a PhD in Film Studies will be
doubly qualified: in film studies as well as in a secondary area.

 

Admissions:

Students applying for the PhD in Film Studies will identify a -departmental
Area of Concentration from the list of associated departments (e.g. English,
French, Slavic, and German).  This area of concentration will appear on the
student's transcript when the degree is granted.

 

Requirements:

Film Studies Core Course Requirements

Core Courses in Film Studies (7 credits):

                - a two-course (6 credit) sequence taken in any order:

Associated Departmental Course Requirements:

Consult the website of the Associated Department (Area of Concentration) to
which you are applying.  You must fulfill all requirements within that
department although there can be considerable overlap between requirements
of the Associated Department and the Film Studies Program.
