About the Program

Film and electronic media increasingly shape our view of the world. Bring your creative voice to life, and learn to create content, produce, analyze and critique a range of genres. Study the aesthetics and production of film, television and radio. The courses in each of three concentrations help you develop skills in writing, media history and criticism, and professional media production. The major will prepare you for careers in film, television, video, audio, radio and other media. 

Concentrations:
  • Film/Video/Digital Media
  • Radio/Audio
  • Film and Media Studies
Electronic media and film is a screened major leading to the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree. Students are considered a pre-electronic media and film major until they fulfill all requirements necessary for full major status. Applications for the EMF major are reviewed throughout the year.

To be admitted to the major, pre-EMF students must attain a 3.00 GPA in the following three core courses:

  • EMF 120 Concept and Story
  • EMF 140 Introduction to Electronic Media and Film
  • EMF 221 Principles of Film and Media Production
Transfer students may complete the equivalent courses at their previous college or university, but they must attain the overall 3.00 GPA in the equivalent courses.

Students who have completed the required screening courses with a 3.00 GPA must submit an EMF Major Application online to become a full EMF major.
