Introduction
The Cinematic Arts program offers a transformative core curriculum focused on Critical Studies, Written and Visual Storytelling, and Production Skills. This foundational approach prepares students for specialization in one of seven disciplines-Cinematography, Critical Studies, Creative Nonfiction, Directing, Producing, Postproduction, or Screenwriting-without the need for a portfolio for entry. Our commitment to nurturing diverse voices and innovative storytelling ensures our graduates are well-equipped to make significant contributions to the cinematic arts and their communities.
