Degrees and Requirements

Film

The film program provides students with a well-rounded education emphasizing the aesthetic, social and cultural aspects of film. Students will apply theoretical and comparative concepts of film analysis as they create their own films throughout the program, moving through training in all stages of film production and exploring the most recent technological advances in visual media. In line with the University’s Mission, utmost importance is placed on an education that will ultimately empower graduates to effectively use film and visual storytelling as a means to shape culture and affect positive change in society. 

Students are encouraged to add a minor in one of several related disciplines, including Photography, Game Studies, Marketing, or further concentrate their interests in film analysis or through innovative approaches to filmmaking
