The Department of Film offers a bachelor of arts in film with four possible concentrations: film studies, film production, screenwriting, and film marketing. The department also offers a minor in film and a certificate program in film production or screenwriting. During the course of their studies, students develop an understanding of the fundamental processes and aesthetic principles of motion picture production; an awareness of the multiplicity of ways in which technology may be used in the creative process; and an appreciation of cinema as the product of aesthetic, cultural, national, social, and historical influences. Through its various programs, the department provides students with a solid liberal arts grounding in the history, theory, and practice of filmmaking. In doing so, the department educates individuals to be intellectually aware and fully capable of growing and thriving in a changing, diverse, globalized society. The theoretical grounding and production experience gained in the film programs provide a starting point for a wide range of careers both inside and outside the film industry as well as for advanced study in many academic disciplines that require critical and creative thinking.
