Portland-State-University 2024-2025 Bulletin

Undergraduate Program

The Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Sciences in Film is designed to offer students the opportunity to major in a diverse film curriculum that unites professional training in all aspects of film production with a deep understanding of film theory and scholarship. We ask students to engage with material that presents a wide range of academic and artistic challenges through critical thinking and hands-on practice. As such, the School of Film understands itself to work within the scholarly and pedagogical traditions of a liberal arts education, and faculty are committed to providing a strong emphasis on written, oral, and visual expression; critical thinking; and diverse and international perspectives.
