Digital Filmmaking MFA Program

The Master of Fine Arts in Digital Filmmaking is a three-year, 60 credit hour terminal degree. The program emphasizes production skills through both a series of production seminars and the thesis project. In addition, students are required to take courses in writing, history, and theory in order to create a more well rounded education. Full time students are expected to take nine credits a semester. Students complete two years of full time course work. In their third year, students write, direct, produce, and edit a thesis film (approximately 30 minutes).

Financial Aid: Students may be eligible for graduate assistantships. Information about other forms of financial aid, including loans, may be obtained from UCA's Financial Aid Office, 501- 450-3140. Students receiving graduate assistantships and other forms of financial aid should contact the Financial Aid Office to determine their combined financial package.

Graduate Assistantships: To qualify for an assistantship, a student should have achieved an excellent academic record and completed substantial course work in the major field. The number of graduate assistantships offered is based on available funding. Students interested in a graduate assistantship should complete a graduate assistantship application and submit it with the graduate school application.
