CTEMS Mission
CTEMS at Morehouse College aims to prepare students to be thoughtful storytellers and media consumers of film and television and offers them a foundation for further study at the graduate level and/or for professional careers in the industry. The program introduces students to the process of shaping compelling narratives by moving from idea to the written page, and ultimately to the screen. Students engage in the critical study of film and television, including history, criticism, and the components of filmic storytelling and participate in hands-on production work in the senior year. For admission, potential majors must demonstrate their academic seriousness and creativity by submitting an original work that emphasizes storytelling and their potential as a successful CTEMS major.
