Concentration Overview

The Film/Television/Video concentration prepares students to professionally engage dynamic areas of audio/visual media production, distribution, and exhibition. In doing so, this concentration prepares students to express themselves and to communicate with and engage others through screenwriting as well as digital film production, editing, promotion, and producing. Because the concentration is grounded by the liberal arts, students develop as creative artists and critical analysts who understand the roles cinema, television, video, and film play in contemporary communication. Within the nexus of these creative arenas, students are invited to tailor the concentration to accommodate their individual interests.
