Academics
Academics
Hollywood. It's one of the most influential businesses since the Industrial Age. It's where the movies that change the world-for good and bad--are made. It's an epicenter for the formation of American popular culture and the port of departure from which this culture is exported to the world.
The curriculum consists of two seminars, Hollywood Production Workshop and Theology in Hollywood, focusing on the role of film in culture and the relationship of faith to work in this very influential industry. You'll also choose one elective course from a variety of offerings in film studies. Internships in various segments of the film industry provide you with hands-on experience. The combination of the internship and seminars allows you to explore the film industry within a Christian context and from a liberal arts perspective.
