Bachelor of Science - Motion Picture Science (Optional Co-op)

The BS in motion picture science provides a science- and engineering-based education in the fundamental imaging technologies used for the motion picture industry. By combining a core curriculum in practical filmmaking from the College of Art and Design and course work from the imaging science major from the College of Science, the motion picture science degree prepares students in the art and science of feature film, television, and animation production. Topics include film and digital image capture, film scanning, digital image manipulation, color science, visual effects, and digital and traditional projection. New facilities provide students with hands-on experience on the same equipment being used in major motion picture production today.

Utilizing research, critical thinking, creativity, and a range of problem-solving principles, students are taught to address complex motion-imaging workflow issues within the constraints of time, space, budget, and technology. Graduates enjoy a variety of career opportunities, from feature film and television post-production to imaging equipment design and essential motion-imaging technology research and development.
