The Film & Television program offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Film and Television. This BFA emphasis provides intensive, practical training that requires successful completion of numerous film/TV projects, ranging from fiction to documentary. The emphasis is designed for students to progress through the semesters as a cohort. Undergraduates will work on their own projects and assist with numerous group projects. Students graduate with both a theoretical and historical perspective, as well as hands-on experience in film and television production. This program prepares students to begin their careers at entry-level positions in the film or television industry, start their personal creative journey, or continue their studies in a graduate program. We believe in the power of transformative education, hands-on learning, and creative exploration. Our BFA program cultivates storytellers with a strong technical foundation and artistic vision, preparing graduates for immediate impact in the film, television, and media industries.

    Students building a High-Volume Portfolio: The curriculum is known for its rigor, as students often complete 20 films/exercises on their portfolios by graduation. This indicates a highly engaged and active student body.

    Access to Professional Gear: The program's "film cage" provides students with access to industry-standard, professional-grade cameras, sound, lighting, and grip equipment.

    Only BFA Production Program in the Region: CU Denver is the only school in the region offering a BFA in production.

    Collaborative Cohort Culture: The program is built on a cohort-style curriculum in which students build strong bonds by working on each other's film sets, emphasizing collegiality and team-based teaching and learning.
    Integrated Acting Emphasis: The new Acting for the Screen BFA emphasis is fully integrated with the filmmaking students. This intentional structure means acting in student films is a part of their training, fostering essential on-set collaboration between filmmakers and actors.
