SAMPLE COURSE

Cult and Independent Film (ART530)

This course examines various cult films and the cult film phenomenon. From the definition (or designation) of “cult” to the unusual yet vital role in society this non-genre fills, the cult film does not fit into traditional critical rhetoric. Instead, by being a marginalized area of film, the cult film and the audiences of this phenomenon deconstruct mainstream film entertainment and analysis.

"The graduate program at Tiffin University has helped me to prepare for a new career as a Police Executive and has given me the tools and credentials needed to obtain the executive positions I desire. Fortunately, being a member of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), I was eligible to receive an FOP discount which assisted me greatly with tuition cost. "

“My experience with Tiffin University so far has been nothing but positive. The program and the required courses I took seemed well-constructed and challenged me both academically and creatively. I have learned with and from my fellow students, although I feel that given the fact that the program is all online, I have learned the most from the research I had to conduct for the written assignments. I look forward to applying what I have learned at Tiffin on the job.”
