Program overview
A four year applied arts degree in filmmaking, covering camera and lighting, sound, editing and post production, directing and producing, screenwriting and production management, with an applied industry component.
This is a full degree awarded here rather than a diploma or transfer route, which removes the field of study question for work permit purposes. Applied arts degrees are built around production rather than theory, so students leave with completed films and crew credits rather than essays about cinema.

The institution records CIP code 50.0101 for Bachelor of Applied Arts in Film Production, which is informational rather than determinative. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Bachelor of Applied Arts in Film Production with a partner should plan on a single income.
