To proceed to the second year of the BFA program, students must apply in writing and have a minimum average of 70% in their first two semesters of film and video classes. Admission is by portfolio and interview. At the end of the BFA program students are able to research and write a story and prepare shooting script to professional standards; produce, i.e., manage the business side of a production and ensure that it is marketable; and direct all aspects of a production. The program prepares students to become independent film/video artists or writers, directors and producers for the industry.
