The Bachelor of Arts in Film and Media Arts is designed for students who wish to have a more general approach to the major. After completing the FMA core, students must take one production or writing course in either Filmmaking, Videography, Experimental Video or Screenwriting, along with one 2000-level or higher studies course. Students then design their own program with approval of their advisors, choosing a range of middle- and upper-level courses that complete a balanced approach to media study and production or a self directed emphasis in camera, lighting, sound, animation, directing, writing, producing or new media studies or production. The program requires at least one middle-level writing-intensive course, one advanced writing-intensive course, one advanced studies course and one advanced course in studies or production.

The B.A. in Film and Media Arts with a Concentration in Cinematography is a liberal arts degree that prepares students to enter graduate film programs or pursue professional careers in the film and television production with a focus on Cinematography. Students will complete advanced work in Cinematography in a two-semester master class capstone.
