Courses by Semester
The BFA in Film & Video program of study starts each fall semester and is completed in a continuous and pre-determined 4-semester, 2-year cycle. No courses are offered every semester and a student who misses a registration deadline or fails a course will be "out of sequence" and will have to wait another year for the course to be offered again. The MCA Department is not open during the summer although the BFA program will occasionally offer a critical studies or a special topics course during the summer sessions.
