Bachelor of Arts in Film Studies and Production

With a BA in film studies and production, you'll be a critical observer and producer of our culture's most powerful media art forms: film and video. In our program, you'll learn the history, theory, production and criticism of motion picture arts, as well as develop a hands-on understanding of the film industry.

You will explore existing and emergent media platforms, learning what it means to be an ethical, effective and culturally sensitive communicator. In many classes, you will write scripts and participate in screenwriting teams, while also developing technical skills in lighting, editing and sound design. You will work with award-winning faculty who will guide you through the processes of fundraising, grantwriting, exhibiting, selling and promoting your films.

You also will be challenged to develop a deeper understanding of how sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, gender, class, age and ability are represented in and by media and why such representations matter. Our classes adopt an intersectional lens in their exploration of how identity markers create unequal power dynamics both on and off screen, highlighting how off-screen dynamics greatly impact what is seen onscreen.

The BA in Film Studies and Production will prepare you for a career in the fast-paced, highly competitive industries of film, video and related fields. After graduating, you can apply your creative and analytical abilities across many sectors, including media, marketing, entertainment, education and communications.
