GCU does require film degree students to have access to these software programs: Adobe Creative Cloud or DaVinci Resolve (for production courses); Celtx, FadeIn or Final Draft (for screenwriting). These programs will be used throughout your video production degree emphasis to give you extensive experience in each. If taking these courses online, you will be responsible for paying for these programs. If you are taking the courses on-campus, you will have access to the computer lab for the editing software, but would still need to purchase the screenwriting software.
GCU also has a computer lab that houses multiple iMac computer stations which all run Adobe and DaVinci software, ensuring that you have ample opportunity to work on the same software that is used in the professional film industry.
