Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Film Media] From University of Rhode Island

Our curriculum reflects the dynamic and diverse nature of this field, approached from a perspective of film history and media theory. Students learn to work with the evolving and overlapping technologies involved in the production of moving images (including film, digital video, 3D animation, game design, and new media), with an understanding of the broadening and globalization of their cultural and aesthetic contexts. A wide range of courses is available to the film media student—courses that examine the historical, theoretical, and global approaches to the analysis and creation of moving images. The film media program prepares students for careers in such areas as independent filmmaking; animation and media design; film and television industries; advertising, marketing, and public relations; and media criticism. Graduates of this program are also prepared to continue with graduate studies, either in film and media production for an M.F.A., or in a master’s or doctoral program in film and media studies.
