Cinematic Arts Major (BA)

Are you passionate about film? The cinematic arts major can help you pursue that passion, developing your creative and critical skills in the studio and the classroom.

The major combines the liberal arts emphasis of communication arts with hands-on experience in video, film and digital media production. Students choose among four concentrations that prepare them for a wide variety of jobs, ranging from commercial filmmaking to recording rock bands, from crafting 3D animation and special effects to shooting documentaries in third-world countries.

All our cinematic arts majors are grounded in certain theoretical and general production courses. Areas of concentration are particular blends of course work that emphasize aspects of the cinema and media industry. Our students put that knowledge into use through a series of intensive, hands-on projects. All our students complete at least one internship to help them channel their passion into a career.

All courses are taught from a Christian worldview where faith is integrated into learning – and in a classroom setting where professors know you by name.
