Bachelor of Arts - Cinema and Media Arts ProductionThe School of Liberal Arts offers the Bachelor’s of Arts degree with a major in Cinema and Media Arts Production (CMAP). The B.A. program in CMAP serves students interested in acquiring hands-on experience with current digital media equipment and media techniques, along with those interested in examining scholarship in the areas of film studies and related media industries. A degree in CMAP prepares students for a variety of careers, including on-set careers in film and television, production assistant, location scout, script supervisor, editorial assistant, scriptwriter, marketing, media law, media entertainment, publishing, social media, community arts, and higher education opportunities in graduate programs in film, television, and other media. The CMAP program provides learning experiences of increasing levels of complexity and a curriculum that is interdisciplinary and enriching. The program offers three tracks: Design and Production, Entertainment Industries Studies and Writing for Stage and Screen.

Major Requirements (60 hours)The major requirements consist of three to four areas, depending on the chosen track of study: CMAP Core, Concentration, and General Electives, an internship and a senior capstone experience. The CMAP Core is designed to promote a common body of knowledge needed for proficiency across a wide range of industry standards in film, television, and other media industries, private and public sector organizations, and educational institutions and settings. Concentration courses and the senior capstone experience allow students to delve further into their areas of specialization and complete a portfolio that represents their strengths in that specialization. The internship (required for Design and Production, optional for the other two tracks) provides students practical work experience and networking opportunities related to their interests, along with possible career opportunities within the film and media industries. General electives give students an opportunity to explore additional topics of interest at an advanced level. CMAP Program GoalsCore Goals
