The B.F.A. in Film Production provides professional education in a liberal arts environment, a combination that prepares students to be creative film artists who understand the social, cultural and historic context of film language while developing their skills in one or more areas of production. Prior to their junior year, students must choose cinematography, directing, editing, production design or sound design to pursue for their advanced area of study requirements. However, they are still free to take classes in other disciplines.

Students pursuing a major in film production may only use up to 6 credits of internship coursework to satisfy elective requirements within their major.
