1. University Core Curriculum includes Arts Distribution Requirement), 45 credits.

2. Department Foundation Curriculum: Film 114 (214), 116, 117, 201 (101), 202 (102), 210; 18 credits.

3. Pre-Portfolio Studios: Film 220, 222, 253, 255; 6 credits.

8. General Electives chosen from any departments outside of Film; 9 credits.

Course of Study. In the Conceptual Studies in Media Arts Production Track of the BFA Film major, students pursue the study of media arts history, theory, and criticism thoroughly integrated with the artistic practice of film, video and new genres. This is accomplished through a required sequence of six Department Foundation courses and two Pre-Portfolio Studios, followed by a series of required and elective courses in Conceptual Studies, Film/Video /New Genres, and Photography to make up the 66-credit major. All Conceptual Studies courses include an integrated production component of at least 20 percent of the requirements. The philosophical assumption that theory and practice are taught side by side and in dialogue with each other is the foundation of the integrated model.

The integration of theory and practice begins with introductory courses (Film 114 [214] and 210) and the Pre-Portfolio Studios (Film 220, 222, 253, 255) through the use of creative and practical assignments. The three Conceptual Studies Core classes – Film 320 - Structures of Film, Film 455 - Integrated Film/Video Exploration, and the capstone Film 512 - Senior Project in Conceptual Studies – explicitly integrate critical methods with media arts production. Each of the Conceptual Studies electives incorporates creative or practical components consistent with the integrated theory/practice program model.

*Admission to the Conceptual Studies Track: Students are admitted to the Conceptual Studies Track after completing the Department Foundation Curriculum (Film 114 [214], 116, 117, 201 [101], 202 [102], 210); two of the Pre-Portfolio Studios (220, 222, 253, 255); Film 320; and the Conceptual Studies portfolio review.

Course of Study. Film/Video/Animation/New Genres is an integrated course of study in which students create individual projects in film, video or other media every semester. This is accomplished through a required sequence of six Department Foundation courses and two Pre-Portfolio Studios, followed by a series of required and elective courses in the 66-credit major.

Admission to the Major. Students are admitted to the Film/Video/Animation/New Genres major as a result of a portfolio review that occurs upon completion of the UWM English and Math requirements, 18 credits of work in the Foundation Curriculum (Film 114, 116, 117, 201, 202 and 210), 6 credits of Pre-Portfolio Studios (Film 220, 222, 232, 255), and the Film/Video/Animation/New Genres portfolio review.

The following outline will serve as a guide in planning for studies in Film/Video/Animation/New Genres. Students are encouraged to consult regularly with their school and departmental advisors as well. All course waivers or changes in the requirements of the major must have the written approval of the department chair.
