The University of Idaho is now offering a bachelor’s degree in film and television studies.

The program is run under the Moscow school’s College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences to prepare students for a variety of careers in cinema, television, and video.  UofI says the degree is suited for students interested in careers as producers, directors, audio and video equipment technicians, photographers, camera operators, and video editors.

The new bachelor’s degree program is a partnership between the Department of English and the School of Journalism and Mass Media.  The coursework will include film history, media theory, and hands-on filmmaking using a film school model.  Classes will be taught in the two lead departments, as well as the departments of History, Theatre Arts, and Modern Languages and Cultures.

Students interested in pursuing a film and television studies degree can enroll in classes for fall 2017.  (UI)
