Course Overview

The Department of Film and Digital Media offers studies in film, video, audio, and new media production, as well as screenwriting, media studies, film theory, media effects, and media management.

The film and digital media major is designed to prepare students for a variety of careers in television, cable, film, digital media, and allied fields. Several courses are designed for non-majors who desire an understanding of the role of the broadcast and film media in American society.         

The communication specialist major combines courses in communication and film and digital media. This program of study blends a leadership/management/organizational communication focus with the development of expertise in digital media production. Like the communication major, it is appropriate for students with a wide array of career aspirations but is most appropriate for those intending to take advantage of communication expertise in a corporate career track. The requirements for the communication specialist major are listed in the Department of Communication.

General Eligibility

Students may repeat each of these introductory courses only once if they fail to make a “B” or better the first time they take the course. Students may only remain in the Pre-Film and Digital Media major designation until the completion of 60 hours. Students who have not met the admission requirement at 60 hours will not advance to the Film and Digital Media major and must change degree programs. (Transfer students who enter with at least 15 hours will be given up to the completion of 90 hours to complete the four courses with a grade of “B” or better and progress into the Film and Digital Media major.)
