Transfer Students
Interested in transferring to the University of Oregon as a cinema studies major? Please review the university’s transfer admission requirements to learn more about the transfer admission process and the course and credit requirements that you must have completed by the time you transfer.
Not yet admitted transfer students:
If you are an incoming transfer student, you will need to indicate on your admissions application that you want to major in cinema studies. The Office of Admissions will then declare you as a major. There is no separate application to declare the cinema studies major.
Admitted transfer students who have not yet declared the cinema studies major:
If you have already been admitted to the UO and have yet to attend IntroDUCKtion (mid-year and summer orientation), you will need to send an email via your UO email address and include your UO ID # (95#) to the Office of Admissions to inform them that you would like to change to and/or add cinema studies as an additional major.
Credit for Previously Completed Coursework
If you have previously completed related coursework in cinema, film, and/or media studies, it may be possible for you to obtain cinema studies major credit or meet cinema studies major course requirements through your transfer coursework. Please submit information on your transfer course using this Transfer Credit Request Form and attach the syllabus (required).

Please email the department with any questions about the transfer process into the UO as a cinema studies major
Postbaccalaureate Students
A student who has previously obtained a bachelor's degree (either at the UO in a different major or at another institution) is a postbaccalaureate student. Prospective students with a bachelor's degree interested in obtaining a cinema studies degree from the UO would do so as postbaccalaureate undergraduate students, as the Department of Cinema Studies only offers a bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree.
Postbaccalaureate Admission as a Cinema Studies Major
To enroll as a postbaccalaureate cinema studies major, you will need to submit the Postbaccalaureate Undergraduate Application (including all transcripts), indicating cinema studies as your intended major, and pay the application fee a minimum of 30 days before the start of the term.
Please visit Postbaccalaureate Undergraduate Admissions for more information about the postbaccalaureate admissions process at the UO.
To ensure class availability, please submit your application 30 days prior to the start of initial registration for your intended term. Initial registration timeframes can be viewed on the Academic Calendar through the Office of the Registrar.
