Cinema Art + Science, BFA

The BFA is designed specifically to help students meet the qualification for direct entry to the profession and is built around extensive modeling of professional practice integrated with research and collaborative production of thesis work at the level or beyond what was traditionally achieved in graduate programs. Students can earn a BFA with a concentration in Cinematography, Directing, Editing and Post-Production, Sound for Cinema, Cinema Visual Effects, Producing, Production Design or Screenwriting. Any student who completes the required first three semesters for a concentration will be eligible to apply to the BFA in that concentration during their fourth semester. Entry to the BFA is by selection after evaluation of department course work and film production completed in the first three semesters of the BA.
