We train highly motivated and talented students to become filmmakers.
As a film major, you will write, direct, and produce your own films. Our program trains students in all aspects of filmmaking: directing, cinematography, editing, production, screenwriting, and film analysis. A majority of our alumni work in the film and media industries.
Film graduates Kameron Wood and Diorlenny Rodriguez created this film for the college admissions office.
