Emphasis is placed on learning through experience.
Students spend many hundreds of hours engaged in actual production of works in these media. Through the years the department has established a national reputation as a center where young people prepare successfully for careers in motion picture and video production, television, photography, and the theatre. It is our goal to continue to improve the reputation of the department by graduating students of high caliber, by encouraging faculty members to be productive in their own work, and by encouraging the success of the specific outreach programs which have an integral relationship to the department - KUSM, Montana PBS and Montana Shakespeare in the Parks.
