Students interested in doing a film capstone can register for ENGL 368C, the capstone section of the Topics in Film course. This section is typically offered in the spring semester. In this course, students will work on a research project related to the particular topic of the course that semester (Science Fiction, Hitchcock, Film History, and so on).

Contact Robert Spadoni if you would like to learn more about the film capstone option or discuss registering for an upcoming capstone section.
