Notes:
Specialized program courses are offered on the East Campus and may not be offered every session. Students can only begin advanced courses in the Fall Term in the Program Requirements.
Our Film Fundamentals Technical Certificate is limited access certificate, where students take many of the advanced courses with an internship and also has an application process. Acceptance is contingent upon approval by the Film Department and the School of Arts & Entertainment.
Our unique program partners with professional film productions (feature films, pilots, series, music videos, etc.). On those projects our students work as crew members under the professional film crew as production assistants, electricians, grips, assistant camera technicians, set dressers, sound utility etc. This is an additional networking opportunity for our students. Once students are on those productions, that is the class. Productions could range from a 3 day production, a week production or a couple weeks, if it’s a feature film. Students work 12 – 14 hours a day on set (meals provided).
We also have various workshops that will be included in Film Production I – III courses including Directing, Assistant Directing, Production Design, Location Management, Script Supervising, Post-Production Sound and many more.
Current Students please reach out to Program Advisor and/or Film Department to discuss registration, course sequence and guidance.
