Digital Filmmaking & Video Production - Bachelor of Science
The Bachelor of Science degree program in Digital Filmmaking & Video Production offers a balance of theory, history, and practical training to produce competent and literate graduates who are proficient in the technical, organizational, historical, and creative aspects of visual storytelling. This program is designed to integrate industry and education with internship programs and a student operated production company and television studios. There is an emphasis on storytelling itself because good stories are in great demand in the industry.

Storytelling is the basis for learning the technical aspects such as lighting, directing, editing, and sound. The principles of digital filmmaking and video production are explored and applied. Students have the opportunity to script and produce screenplays, teleplays, sitcoms, commercials and music videos, and enter numerous writing and video industry-sponsored competitions. Equally important is the production of the thesis video project, the centerpiece of the graduate?s demo reel. This is a graduate?s ?visual calling card? for prospective employers in the industry.
