Through their education here, we ask students to look as deeply as they can into themselves, and as hard as they can at the world, and in the process say something about it all through media: film, video, audio, installation, new genres.

The faculty, staff and students are actively engaged in the making of art and the interplay between art and ideas. We think of the university as a place where these activities converge, bringing the community and the worlds of art, technology and media together. We offer an inter-related BFA track: Film/Video/Animation/New Genres, that provide varied approaches to the study and making of art in the world today.

Our goal is for you to become a creative thinker, an informed viewer and an art maker — someone whose imaginative skills are matched by an ability to learn and use the technologies to say something important; whose habit is to work, to take risks for what is in the mind and heart, to make the world a better place.
