The Graduate Minor in Cinema/Video Production allows graduate students to explore creative and expressive possibilities of single-camera electronic cinematography and provide them with an understanding of the aesthetic issues involved with cinema/video production.

Process
- In conjunction with their advisor, graduate student should determine the appropriateness of pursuing a graduate interdisciplinary specialization or graduate minor and how best to incorporate it into their program of study.
- Interested students should schedule a meeting with the Faculty Advisor, Janet Parrott,.1@osu.edu, to discuss their goals for the minor and select appropriate coursework.
- Once a student has identified a list of courses to fulfill the minor requirements, they should submit a Minor and Graduate Interdisciplinary Specialization form in GRADFORMS. The coordinator of the minor/GIS will be notified to review the application, and the student’s advisor will receive an email notice that the student submitted the form. Any changes to the approved coursework after this step has been completed must be approved by the minor program.
- Upon completion of the graduate minor program, the student must submit the Transcript Designation Request through GRADFORMS.
