3 Film Studies Associate of Arts Programs

Our Film program specializes in film and media studies, film history and criticism, and the new global media culture. Individuals may obtain an A.A. in Film, which trains them in the history, theory, and craft of diverse styles of film art. Many graduates continue their education at a four-year university, majoring in subjects such as film, television, digital media, or theater.

The Film and Media Studies major, leading to an AA degree, focuses on historical and critical studies in the field of film and related media. The program is designed to introduce students to film literature and criticism and to provide them with a basic knowledge of motion picture history, including the work of major American and international directors. Electives enhance this course of study by exposing students to the principles, technology and techniques of motion picture production. The goal of the program is to encourage a critical attitude toward moving image media through theoretical studies, critical analysis and historical and cross-cultural examination.

In this program you will have the opportunity to make films, do sound design, music production, digital photography, visual effects, and digital images for print, web, and video.
