The Film and Digital Media major at UC Santa Cruz offers an integrated curriculum where students study the cultural impact of movies, television, video and the internet, while also producing creative work in video and interactive digital media.

This Bachelor of Arts degree provides students with the critical skills to analyze world cinema, popular TV and new media, along with the technical, aesthetic and intellectual principles fundamental to creating new work in these forms.

Film and digital media are key technologies of our age and central engines of California’s economy. By studying their global cultural impact and by producing a new generation of media-literate media-makers, our program provides the critical and artistic vision vital to 21st-century citizenship.
