This course will consider the manner in which film can raise and explore philosophical issues and the manner in which philosophers bring their insights to the analysis of film. It aims to examine and critically evaluate various philosophical themes and problems by means of the visual medium of film. These themes can include such perennial philosophical subjects as reality and appearance, good and evil, and knowledge and skepticism. An additional aim of this course is to examine the nature of film from a philosophical perspective, raising such issues as film's status as an art form, film as a source of knowledge, and whether philosophy can take the form of, or be articulated through, film.Prerequisite: WRT 102. 3 Credit hours.

The purpose of an internship is to provide students with practical training and supervised work experience in appropriate firms or organizations. Internships are designed to give students an opportunity to make use of the practical aspects of their classroom knowledge, to complement and extend their classroom experiences, and to develop their understanding and confidence through a work-related experience. Responsibilities will vary according to placement as determined by the work supervisors of the sponsoring agency and faculty coordinator. Students are required to spend a minimum of 120 hours work on site. Students must have earned 60 or more credits and a minimum of 2.5 cumulative grade point average at the time of application and complete an internship application. 3 credit hours.
