Master the art of visual storytelling.
In the Film Studies program at Western Colorado University, you can take advantage of state-of-the-art media production facilities, small classes and attentive faculty who are experts in their field. The program balances theoretical, philosophical and critical studies of media and dramatic works with hands-on storytelling experience through student-directed projects.
To start building your portfolio, you can produce original plays in the Western Theater Company or host your own radio show on the student-run KWSB Radio. You can also become a collaborator in Mountaineer Media, a student-run media production group specializing in short films, screenings and storytelling. Each semester, the Film Studies program organizes popular public screenings to display your work and hosts visiting media professionals to expand your career network. Through Western’s vast network of alumni who work in the field, many students are offered competitive internships that turn into careers.
