Department of Film

Offering a four-year undergraduate curriculum, the Film Department focuses on developing a student’s creative voice, appreciation and understanding of the medium. There are two programs: The BFA in production is a limited access program that stresses entrepreneurial filmmaking and the use of new technology in the production and distribution of student work. Encompassing all aspects of filmmaking from conceptualization to distribution, this program prepares students to become effective independent filmmakers. Graduating seniors are required to complete a capstone film, script, or digital media project. Concentrations include: filmmaking, screenwriting, digital cinema. The Cinema Studies BA is a rigorous course of study in film theory, criticism and history that prepares the student for work in the industry or for Graduate Study. Community partners include: Universal Studios Florida, Panavision, Kodak, DisneyMGM Studios, and the Florida Film Festival.

Students are selected for the limited access BFA by submitting an application form and creative portfolio by December 15. Complete information on faculty, curriculum, and admission requirements is available on the department website. Because this is a limited access program, students should pay close attention to the program admission requirements and check with the Department or website frequently.
