MHST 332 - History of Film MusicFC CNDP, DDHU 4 credits A comprehensive survey of film music history from the silent era through the present day.

Films viewed will include those with soundtracks by major 20th-century composers as well as specialized soundtrack composers. Prerequisites & Notes: One 200-level MHST course is suggested. ESOL 130 or testing equivalent is required of International students. Does this course require off campus field trips? No
