In addition to taking the required classes above, students will take a minimum of 6 hours from one of the Areas of Specialization (Narrative & Creative, Documentary & News, or Commercial & Advertising). These areas provide theory about and practical experiences in the three main types of television, video, and film. Students will also select 6 hours from the largely interdisciplinary electives list in the Skills & Interests section. This section allows for additional theoretical and technical development in a chosen area of production from performing on-air or on-screen to learning about the latest digital media technologies.
