Cinema and PhotographyBachelor of Science, Bachelor of Fine Arts Janice Levy, Associate Professor and Chair The Department of Cinema and Photography administers two degree programs: the bachelor of science program in cinema and photography and the bachelor of fine arts program in film, photography, and visual arts. Both offer a variety of experiences in the conceptual, design, and production phases of film and photography. The departmental curriculum provides the critical, theoretical, and historical frames of reference necessary for informed communication and creative expression, as well as technical fluency with the media. The department also offers a minor in still photography. The bachelor of science program in cinema and photography (120 credits) has three concentrations --- cinema production, screenwriting, and still photography. Majors typically choose their concentration before registration for the first semester of their sophomore year. The B.S. program allows students to choose a significant number of elective courses and/or minors from the very broad range of offerings at the College. The bachelor of fine arts program in film, photography, and visual arts (120 credit hours) emphasizes an interdisciplinary focus in a production-intensive communications and fine arts program. It combines the same course requirements found in the cinema production concentration of the B.S. program with significant additional required coursework in still photography and required supplemental courses in video production, studio art, and art history. The B.F.A. program is more tightly structured than the B.S. program, with fewer open electives. Planning for off-campus semesters (in London, Los Angeles, or elsewhere) must be done more carefully. Entering majors in both degree programs must have their own light meters and their own 35 mm cameras. In addition, students must pay for laboratory services and purchase materials such as photographic film and paper, mounting board, motion picture film, video tapes, and digital storage media. Because of the large number of required production courses, B.F.A. applicants should be aware that they will incur additional expenses for supplies.
