The screen arts degree is a comprehensive production degree for those interested in bringing stories to any screen. Students will be prepared for careers and service through courses that focus on pre-production, production, and post-production, with opportunities for students to study specific areas of interest. Additionally, students work in an internship within the industry, prepare a portfolio of original work, and participate in a capstone screen story project showcasing their talents and learned knowledge.
Our screen arts degree program teaches students the art of multimodal storytelling, from start to finish. Storytelling is the most common and effective way of conveying information from one person or group to another, and our screen arts major helps students use a variety of diverse media technologies to reach equally diverse audiences.
Following their last 5-Year Program Review, the Media Production Program underwent curriculum changes to become the Screen Arts Program, beginning in academic year 2019-2020.
Quality Assurance: Each degree program should employ sufficient faculty such that there is a capacity to design and deliver the curriculum (CFR 2.5). Curriculum design and implementation should involve evaluation, improvement, and promotion of student learning and success (CFR 2.5). Thus, faculty are responsible to exercise effective academic leadership on a consistent basis to ensure that the program's quality and educational purposes are upheld (CFR 2.6). Student support and co-curricular programs and services of sufficient nature, scope, and capacity go hand-in-hand with the degree programs for promoting students' academic, personal, and professional development (CFR 2.13). - WSCUC 2023 Handbook, Standard 2
