Wheaton's FNMS program combines critical inquiry, creative expression, information fluency and digital literacy in order to help students acquire the skills they need to achieve their academic and professional goals.
The Film & New Media Studies program at Wheaton College introduces students to the theoretical, historical, aesthetic and global dimensions of cinema and digital media. Such media inform not only how we understand and value representation, but how we understand and value the ideas, peoples, places and cultures that we see represented.
As information and communication technologies comprise an ever more prominent aspect of daily life, their social, psychological, cultural, political, economic and environmental impact becomes increasingly consequential. So too does the need to identify, study and responsibly contribute to that impact.
