  • Select Program below, unless creating an Shared Core. 

  • Type of Program*

  • FILL IN all fields required marked with an *. You will not be able to launch the proposal without completing required fields.

  • Program Type*
  • Degree Type*
  • Program Name*
    Film and Video Production
    Film and Video Production
  • College - School/ Department*
  • Program Description*
    This degree is designed to train graduates in the field who are agile, adaptable, and able to employ their skills in an array of roles from entrepreneurial content producers to on-set film work, both above and below the line. It will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the machinery at work behind media production and distribution, along with a set of tangible, marketable, and transferable skills for an array of positions within the infrastructure of film and content production.
  • Rationale*
    Film and Video Production is part of the high Demand Career Initiative within a field that is growing, and an industry that is thriving in the State of Georgia. Training initiatives are helping develop a workforce that can tap into this growth, but not enough training is being provided to foster local talent as filmmakers as opposed to film workers. Both are equally valuable and we are uniquely positioned to help provide training in this regard. There is a demonstrated need for training in the state, and there is demonstrated desire from our students for us to expand our course offerings into a new, standalone degree. All the faculty and facilities required for this degree already exist within the department. The proposed degree will simply provide students with a more rigorous and in-depth skills-based experience by requiring them to complete 27 credit hours of production over a minimum of four semesters versus 15 credit hours over three semesters in the concentration. This will help us better address the educational needs and career aspirations of some of our students, while still catering to those exploring interests in multiple forms of media production (video, television, and radio). The degree will also allow students to complete the entire Georgia Film Academy Training Certificate as part of their degree program – something that is not feasible within the concentration – this provides expanded possibilities for both short term film work, and long-term career growth into an ever-expanding Audio-Visual-driven landscape.
    Max 400 characters. Please provide an overview of the need for this program.
  • Program Learning Outcomes*
    1. Demonstrate critical thinking, aesthetic awareness and technical proficiency in the production and assessment of audio-visual film work. 2. Understand all phases and roles of film production in order to help formulate career goals. 3. Understand the various potentials of film as both a commodity for a targeted audience, and an act of authorship and creative expression. 4. Demonstrate an understanding of the diversity of peoples and cultures and of the significance and impact of cinema in a global society.

  • ASSESSMENT PLAN

    All new major programs must include an assessment plan. Stand-alone minors must have an assessment plan as well.  A stand-alone minor is a minor that can be earned in a program that does not offer an undergraduates degree with a major in that discipline (for example, a student can earn a minor in Africana Studies but cannot complete a bachelor's degree with a major in Africana Studies). Minors in a discipline where a corresponding major is offered, are not required to include an assessment plan.

    Please download the assessment template from here complete, and upload.
