What is the Film, Television, and Theatre Major?

The Department of Film, Television, and Theatre will provide you with a liberal arts approach to the study of film, television, and theatre. Our program offers a unique mix of design and production, writing and performance, history and theory. In having film, television and theatre in one department, we prepare you for the real world where actors, directors, writers, and other artists frequently move between and among these different entertainment spheres.
Rather than specialize in one narrow area, you will learn a broad base of production skills in classes and collaborations.
Along with creative tools to make film, TV, and theatre, you will gain knowledge of narrative, history, aesthetics, industry, methodologies, and ideas that shape and underpin screen and stage cultures.
You will learn to do critical analysis of movies, TV shows, and plays; to understand their style, structure, and meaning; and to consider historical context.

With 20 departments across the humanities, arts, and social sciences, the College of Arts and Letters is home to exceptional faculty and talented students who are studying what they love. It's an environment to ask big questions, read classic texts, and explore languages and cultures.
We're not just about learning through acquisition. We're about learning through exploration. Our undergraduate students travel the globe to research topics that fascinate them, then turn their observations into conclusions about the world.
Through the liberal arts, you learn to read deeply. Think about issues critically. Discuss topics thoughtfully. Write arguments persuasively. Contribute to projects creatively. And these abilities aren't just vital in the classroom-they're exactly what employers, graduate schools, and service organizations are looking for.
