Bachelor in FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES

SHAPE THE VISUAL MEDIA THAT SHAPES THE WORLD.

Oglethorpe’s interdisciplinary Film and Media Studies program explores film, television and new media through a curriculum combining theory and practice. Graduates acquire both the intellectual framework to analyze media in context and the technical skills to excel at craft and creation, giving them the strongest foundation for success in the field.

Media plays a crucial role in our culture and our lives. It helps us construct our own identities, and our understanding of the world around us. And just as media influences culture, culture influences media, too. Understanding and analyzing this reciprocal exchange will help you better understand the media you consume and also become better at making your own.

The Film and Media Studies program highlights hands-on learning. Oglethorpe students benefit from a lot more practice opportunities than you’d find at the typical big state school. Take the intro level multimedia production course (no prerequisites!) and begin honing your technical skills from day one. Two cutting-edge digital media labs are equipped with all the creative tools you’ll need.

A university where professors know your name and your aspirations. A small private college in a big busy city. A supportive community that’s as diverse as our hometown of Atlanta, the living laboratory where we learn by doing. A historic campus with cutting-edge facilities. A foundation for your future career and future service. A gateway to global opportunities. A place where you can be you. This is Oglethorpe.
