JUNE 17, 2022 — The University of Texas at San Antonio will offer a Bachelor of Arts in Multidisciplinary Studies: Film and Media Studies beginning fall of 2022.
UTSA is adding this new program option at a time when both the television and film industry are poised to bounce back from the sluggish development and release cycles suffered during the pandemic. The program will prepare UTSA students for the careers taking shape in the contemporary film and media sectors, and also shine a light on San Antonio’s growing profile in this industry, according to Paul Ardoin, associate professor of humanities in the UTSA College of Liberal and Fine Arts and director of the program.
“The film and media talent in San Antonio are both stunning and plentiful. The city and region offer endless great locations and enthusiastic community/government support for filmmaking. This is part of how San Antonio ended up on Moviemaker magazine’s recent lists of ‘Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker,’” Ardoin explained. “We would like to build on some of the great extant work at local high schools and community colleges and work to make San Antonio also one of the best places to train as a maker, critic, or scholar of film and other media.”
