Students can major or minor in film at Augustana College. Students will gain hands-on camera experience from the start in this film production program designed to incubate unique opportunities for students to create motion pictures, even before they declare the film major or minor.
In a new combined Department of Theatre and Film at Augustana, student filmmakers can expand and deepen their focus in their field, diversifying their skills, experiences and portfolios in ways a film-only program cannot provide. They can grow their perspective and creative thinking through innovative collaborations, and opportunities such as acting, directing and production design for both stage and screen.
