CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Board of Trustees May 18, 2017 ACTION – Conversion of Film Production Specialization to Film Major, BA
The Film Major, BA provides students opportunities both to engage in the study of film and to develop technical and production skills. Through internships, a capstone project, and a portfolio, students demonstrate their ability to create short programs and more complex works, including narratives, documentaries, and multi-camera productions. It is important to note that the Film Major, BA is a new program in name only. Previously, CWU offered three (3) Film major specializations: Film Production, Cinema Studies, and Screenwriting. Due to low enrollment in Cinema Studies and Screenwriting, those two specializations have been deleted. The Film Production specialization has been converted to a stand-alone Film Major, Bachelor of Arts. As such, there are no new instructional resources required since this program already existed in its entirety in a non-major form. The Faculty Senate approved the conversion of the Film Production Specialization to the Film Major, Bachelor of Arts on April 4, 2018 (Motion No. 17-46).
We recommend the following motion:
The Board of Trustees of Central Washington University endorses the recommendation of the Faculty Senate and approves the Film Major, BA. Submitted:
Katherine P. Frank Provost/Vice President for Academic and Student Life
Approved For Submission To The Board:
