What it isYou study the creative and technical craft of making films, from cinematography and camera work to storytelling and visual composition. Unlike a broader media studies program, Image Arts focuses on hands-on production skills and the visual language of cinema rather than theory alone. This suits students who want to create films themselves and are comfortable learning through doing.You'll study how to plan, shoot, and produce films and videos from start to finish. This program goes deeper into the technical and creative sides of filmmaking than a general media studies degree would, with hands-on work in cinematography, lighting, editing, and storytelling. It suits people who want to work as directors, cinematographers, or producers rather than study media theory or work in broader communications roles.You study an arts or media subject like drama, creative writing, fine art, or music while simultaneously completing teacher training. Unlike a regular arts degree followed by separate teacher certification, you earn both your subject degree and your teaching credential in one integrated program. This suits people who know they want to teach their artistic passion and want to combine the two paths from the start.
