Careers in Finance is a course with two primary learning objectives: first, to expose students to a number of different career opportunities that are available to finance majors; second, to help students identify their strengths, interests and how best to present themselves to a prospective employer. Students will learn what types of jobs are available to finance majors and what are the responsibilities of people who hold these positions. The course provides students with an opportunity to meet with and ask questions of professionals in a variety of different fields.

For the Visiting Filmmakers of the 21st Century Series, this course (open to both graduate and undergraduate students) approaches media convergence and participatory culture as both an object of study and a field of practice. Examining how technological change, industry dynamics, and audience activity reshape media production and circulation, the course traces the histories of fan communities and explores practices such as remix, vidding, fan fiction, forensic viewing, and other forms of transformative engagement.

This seminar will examine the cultural phenomenon of the "art film" during the first three decades of the postwar period (1950s, 60s, 70s). The nature and characteristics of, as well as the relationships connecting and distinguishing, modernist cinema, art cinema, and avant-garde film during this vital period in film history will be one of the course's concerns. We will examine the notion of the auteur and consider its usefulness for thinking about this multiform, innovative cinema.

Film is never confined to the cinema, home theater, laptop, tablet, or phone where it plays. Rather, it radiates in innumerable ways out into the people and institutions that constitute our world, shaping, reflecting, challenging, and guiding us. As you complete your studies at the University, consider how your college experience has prepared you for the future. How do the film classes you have taken in theory, history, genres, and national and transnational cinemas inform your creative work in screen media?
