About
The Bachelor of Arts in Film and Digital Media prepares you for creative roles in the filmic arts. The 79-credit program provides an intensive experience in production and screenwriting as well as film history, theory, and criticism. Before you graduate, you’ll write a classically structured, feature-length screenplay and complete an advanced production project or a theory/criticism project. A faculty-student panel reviews both the screenplay and the project as a part of the Senior Capstone experience during the spring quarter.
How to Apply
Admission to the program is restricted to fall quarter. The film and digital media program requires a very specific sequence of courses, most of which are offered only once a year. Failure to complete courses as they are offered will result in a significant delay in progress toward graduation. You should consult with the department chair about the program and its requirements and declare your major status as early as possible: no later than the fall quarter that you begin your major in Film. You should complete all, or nearly all, of your BACR courses before beginning the film and digital media program.
