Master of Arts in Communication, Concentration in Film, Video, and Digital Imaging
The Masters in Film, Video, and Digital Imaging has two tracks: Production and Critical Studies. The Production track provide students with hands-on experience in the production of moving-image works and emphasize the aesthetic and narrative dimensions of moving image works. The Critical Studies track examines problems in the theory and history of moving images.

Doctor of Philosophy in Communication Studies, Concentration in Moving Image Studies
The doctoral program in Moving Image Studies is specifically designed to provide students with the conceptual and methodological tools to study the complex and vastly expanded moving image environment of the 21st century, where the boundaries separating cinema, television, and new media are breaking down.

Launching in fall 2022, the new Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) in Digital Filmmaking program and its Filmmaking concentration leverage the rich curriculum of the School of Film, Media & Theatre to create an ethically sustainable and socially engaged future for film and media production.
