- The moving image is central to our contemporary lives. From our phones to our tablets, televisions, and cameras, we turn to the screen for entertainment, information, and pleasure.
- From movies and television to social media and virtual reality, the BA in Film Studies at Seattle U places film, television, and media in their cultural, historical, and global contexts.
- The BA explores Seattle’s image-saturated culture by teaching students about the history, aesthetics, technologies, and industries of visual culture and teaching them to make their own creative films. Students will be developing critical skills in writing, independent research, and historical analysis and acquiring key media literacy skills for their future.
- Students interested in film production can also study screenwriting, narrative, documentary, and experimental filmmaking and take advanced classes in producing, industrial film, editing, sound, and cinematography.
- Students can connect with Seattle University's mission for social justice by going out into communities and telling stories of the Northwest. Students might make a documentary about a Syrian refugee or a migrant worker or volunteer with a nonprofit organization on local or national issues to help create social change.
- After students graduate, they might use their film and media skills as a writer, editor, journalist, curator, programmer, teacher, or artist. Students might work on social media for a large company like Amazon, Google, or NBC, or make their own creative projects in film, television, gaming, or the web. Students may also consider going on to do graduate work in film studies or film production.
- With major companies like Amazon, Boeing, Starbucks, and Microsoft headquartered here, SU students find internship opportunities in a wide range of corporate settings. They also work with leading film organizations like the Seattle International Film Festival, Reel Grrls, and Northwest Film Forum.
- Through internships, students can get hands-on experience in film programming, or help produce films for local nonprofits. Getting professional experience by shadowing someone who is a curator, scholar, artist, producer or programmer is vital for building their resume and making the connections that will help them break into a particular industry or carve out a career path. 50 % of all internships lead to permanent job offers.
