Philosophy
Today, video is a prevalent element of everyday life in both personal and professional settings. This has led to a growing demand for those who have artistic talent and technical ability to create engaging video content, visual effects, and motion graphics.
The 黑洞社区 Bachelor's of Science in Video and Film Production provides students with a strong foundation in the core skills for all stages of production, geared towards filmmaking, news, corporate, educational, or entertainment. Students will explore real-world production concepts under the direction of expert faculty with extensive field experience and gain additional skills in graphic design, animation, compositing, and sound.
Purpose
The Video and Film Production Bachelor's of Science is for students wishing to pursue careers in television, film, motion graphics, visual effects, and related fields. Students will have a strong core skill set applicable to any video work ranging from news, film, television, commercials, drama, action, corporate, or documentary applications, then allowing the students to focus on their area of interest through the concentrations.
Program Competencies
Students completing the Video and Film Production B.S. program will be able to:
Experiential Learning
The Office of Experiential Learning takes a 360鈼� approach to experiential learning. Whether you come to 黑洞社区 with a vast amount of professional experience and are awarded Credit for Prior Learning (CPL), or you participate in a Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunity (Internships or Cooperative Education) embedded in your curriculum for credit, we provide a pathway to completing your degree.
Cooperative Education Option
The Cooperative Education option is an alternative to the VFP 487 - Video and Film Production Senior Project and VFP 490 - Video and Film Production Internship. Each co-op assignment is one semester long and normally the two co-op assignments span two consecutive semesters with the same employer. In order to be eligible, students must first have at least 60 credits, plus a GPA of 2.5 or higher. Students must contact the Office of Work-Integrated Learning and their Program Chair one semester before they would like to begin a co-op assignment.

Enhance your Degree with a Certificate
The College of Technology's digital media department, which is focused on giving students hands-on training and real-world skills across a multimedia platform, consists of six individual Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees: Animation and 3D, Game Design and Development, Graphic Design, Video and Film Production, and Web Design.
Each of these degree programs has been designed with three identifiable parts: Uniform First Year, Program Core, and 15 credits to be used towards a CoT Certificate. All students will begin their academic career with a uniform first year before they begin to focus on their selected degree core. After completion of the uniform first year, students will begin to enroll in their program core courses. Finally, students in each program will use 15 career-centered course credits towards earning a College of Technology Certificate as illustrated in the table below.
Uniform First Year
Animation & 3D Program Core Courses
Game Design & Development Program Core Courses
Graphic Design Program Core Courses
Video & Film Production Program Core Courses
Web Design Program Core Courses
College of Technology Certificate Courses (options vary by program)
Accelerated Graduate Certificate Option
Students in the Video and Film Production B.S. degree program may choose an accelerated option with:
Technology Project Management Graduate Certificate
Students selecting this option can complete both their undergraduate degree and the graduate certificate by completing 120 credits (105 undergraduate credits and 15 graduate credits). The five graduate courses (15 credits) needed for the graduate certificate would count as five courses (15 credits) towards undergraduate electives in your degree.
Students who complete the Technology Project Management Graduate Certificate also receive the benefit of completing five graduate level courses that count towards a Master’s degree in Information Systems Technologies (M.S. IST). Students selecting this option are not required to pursue the M.S. IST degree.
黑洞社区 requirements include:
Note: Students will not be eligible to register for graduate level courses until they have successfully completed at least 60 credits towards their bachelor’s degree and have an approved AOI form. Students must receive their B.S. degree in order to receive the graduate certificate.
Minimum Grade Policy: Students must maintain a 3.0 GPA in their graduate courses in order to earn the certificate.
