Film & Performing Arts majors take a shared core of three classes (Fundamentals of ActingFilm Set Production I, and Introduction to Production Design) and then choose a concentration in either Film or Theatre. All of our  can be found under the 鈥淔LPA鈥 designator in course finder and in the 2023-2024 catalog.
