Program MFA Filmu

The Master of Fine Arts in Film is a three-year, 60 credit hour terminal degree. Upon completion of the MFA program, graduates will be fully qualified to teach at the university level or compete in the ever changing landscape of the motion picture industry.

The program emphasizes production skills through both a series of production seminars and the thesis project. In addition, students are required to take courses in writing, history, and theory in order to create a more well rounded education. Students are expected to enroll full time and take nine credits a semester. Students complete two years of full time course work. In their third year, students write, direct, produce, and edit a thesis film (approximately 30 minutes).

In the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences we strengthen this by emphasizing a diverse and global curriculum and real-world learning activities, such as: art exhibitions, study abroad experiences, live performances, internships, undergraduate research projects, creative writing workshops, film festivals, service-learning courses, and many more.

If students want to advance their education here, we offer graduate programs in Creative Writing, English, Film, History, Music, and Spanish. Our faculty are ready and willing to assist you with these decisions and provide you with input necessary for you to make an informed decision about your course of study.

The College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences is committed to global learning and hands-on academic experiences, to making a positive difference in society, and to excellence in the educational enterprise. Join us in pursuing a valuable and diverse education.
