Careers

Students receiving the B.F.A. degree in motion picture production may qualify for positions in film, television, public relations, advertising, or industry; with professional film production companies in Hollywood or elsewhere; or as independent filmmakers. The major can also prepare students for careers in the related fields of journalism, screenwriting, or the management of arts organizations. A B.A. degree in motion pictures can be thought of as a general liberal arts degree preparing one for entrance into professions requiring knowledge of contemporary culture. More specifically, the B.A. degree can prepare students for graduate study in film and/or subsequent employment as a professional writer or teacher in a university; other job options include working for a film archive, festival, library, museum, arts council, film or video production company, or publisher.
