Master of Fine Arts in Film

The master of fine arts (M.F.A.) program in film integrates film production with the conceptual and critical study of the medium while providing a strong focus on global cinema. Through international programs, visiting artists from around the world and a regimen of film history, culture and theory, our graduate students benefit from understanding film within its historical, artistic and international contexts. Through exposure to the areas of video, photography, computer art, sound, music composition, creative writing, drama, humanities, women’s studies and African American studies, the program encourages an interdisciplinary approach to graduate studies. The objective is to develop a plan of study that puts together a course package designed to support each student’s unique talents and interests and to compliment the required courses that constitute the rest of the curriculum.
