Our curriculum is structured to give you a solid foundation in the principles of each area of study, as well as a thorough understanding of specialized applications.

And you won't just sit in a classroom. Whether you’re shooting a film at our professional production facility, performing research in one of our innovative labs, attending events with industry professionals, or studying abroad, you'll get the right mix of education and practice to apply critical and creative thinking in new, real-world situations.
