The Production Concentration

*A portfolio is required for acceptance into this concentration.*

Portfolio due dates are March 1 and October 1 each year.

Media Study majors who select the concentration in Production take basic courses in all three production areas: Film, Video, and Digital Arts. It is our philosophy that students should be exposed to multiple mediums to foster artistic talent and encourage ingenuity. Students in Media Study are thereby able to determine which production area best suits their interests as well as understand that no medium functions exclusively. Students will continue to diversify at the Intermediate level with two courses, one of which MUST be a portfolio course, and will then focus on one production area at the advanced level. Students in Production also take a balance of courses in analysis, media & culture, interpretation, and Media Study electives.

You may print this sheet out for your own advising purposes and check off courses as you take them (or plan to take them) to fulfill the 48 credit hours required for the major.
