The Master of Fine Arts in Digital Cinema provides graduates with a foundation in film history and theory and in-concentration study of digital motion picture production and post-production. The program focuses on developing well-rounded filmmakers versed in all aspects of film production and screenwriting with the ability to work on low-budget, independent and documentary style filmmaking. Students produce professional digital cinema portfolios tailored to the students' interests, needs and desire for self-development. The program prepares graduates to work in a variety of production capacities in the following fields: commercial or industrial film and television, digital entertainment media and communication, educational or instructional media production.

The MFA-DC program is composed of 8 online courses and 3 courses offered in an accelerated one-month onsite residency format in Los Angeles, California. In the area of film theory and criticism, students take 2 online courses, 1 in film theory and an elective course in film studies. Three additional online courses cover cinematography, digital editing and film production from development to release. Two online screenwriting workshops provide students the opportunity to generate a screenplay for a thesis project. Together these courses provide the theoretical and practical foundations for the art of digital filmmaking.

The goal of the program is to develop both the critical acumen and technical abilities of students in the area of visual communication and media. Graduates will develop the ability to generate screenplays, to plan and produce film and video projects and to critically evaluate film and video projects based on theoretical models in communication, media, information design and film aesthetics.
