While some film students focus heavily on production or on the academic study of film as an art form, others also pursue a wide variety of minors or certificates, including film and media scoring, new media, music business, women’s studies, language minors, or even a secondary major in theatre, communications, entertainment and media studies, English, journalism, French, or more – all of this while graduating within the usual four-year timeframe.
What you will learn
Our program includes the in-depth study of film as an art form along with optional areas of emphasis in film production and film studies. It allows the flexibility of adding a wide variety of second majors (usually achievable in the usual four years of college study, particularly the general film major or film studies emphasis), minors, and certificates that compliment film study and film production.
