The Film and Video Studies Program offers a multidisciplinary BA degree, which spans many units including Art and Visual Technology, Communication, Computer Game Design, English, History and Art History, Modern and Classical Languages, New Century College, and Theater. Students study film and video production, film theory and criticism, emerging technologies in film, ethics, screenwriting, and business practices in the film industry. The vocabulary of film (broadly defined) pervades the intellectual, cultural, political, and social landscape. The craft of film-making includes fictional storytelling through genre, documentary and nonfiction, collaborative production with community organizations, the application of academic research, engagement with sound theory and design, and personal and poetic expression. Emerging technologies and mobile viewing change both the means of production and reception. This combination of factors makes film an important area for academic inquiry and professional and artistic training. The MAIS is for students who seek a master’s degree that integrates knowledge from several disciplines. It addresses the rapidly evolving demand for unique graduate study by promoting advanced scholarship that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. Applicants must show a capacity for original thought in cross disciplinary research. There may be additional skills required of students applying to specific concentrations. Students will be admitted only if the program can assign to them a faculty advisor appropriate for the intended course of study. Students can pursue one of the following structured interdisciplinary concentrations: Community college teaching (in communication, English, information systems, math, Spanish, or TESL); Computational social science; Energy and sustainability; Film and video studies; Folklore studies; Higher education (administration or student affairs); Neuroethics; Religion, culture, and values ; Social entrepreneurship; Social justice and human rights; War and the military in society; Women and gender studies. Students also have the opportunity to design an individualized concentration to meet the special needs of their careers in Individualized studies. Highly qualified undergraduates in major may apply to the accelerated master’s degree in interdisciplinary studies. If accepted, and depending on their undergraduate major, students will be able to earn a bachelor’s degree in their major and a master’s degree in interdisciplinary studies with a concentration in energy and sustainability after satisfactory completion of 150 credits, sometimes within five years.
