The B.A. in cinema arts provides a more general approach to cinema arts, while still offering a creative and hands-on education. Students learn the basic skills and theories necessary to communicate their artistic vision, while offering a flexible schedule.

Three focus options are available in either cinema, animation or screenwriting. Along with a specific focus, a large offering of major electives allows a student to build their degree around their interest within cinema arts. And with fewer required courses in the major, students can pursue study abroad opportunities, a double-major, a minor, or complete their degree in less than four years, making it a good option for transfer students.

• Allows a student more flexibility in structuring their education, with fewer courses in the major, and no yearlong senior thesis requirement.
• Fewer required courses in the major allows students to take more general electives so that they can build their own interdisciplinary course of study.
• B.A. students are required to complete 120 credits. For a comprehensive list of program requirements, see the B.A. degree requirements here.
