FEBRUARY 13, 2023 — UTSA’s Film and Media Studies program, which is now in its second semester, is gaining a lot of attention from budding filmmakers and career professionals.
“The program’s grown in enrollment and future interest,” said Paul Ardoin, associate professor of humanities in the UTSA College of Liberal and Fine Arts and director of the program. “Last I heard in December, there are already about 277 applications to our film program for fall 2023.”
Film and Media Studies is one of four new options within the B.A. in Multidisciplinary Studies introduced by University College last fall. There are currently 92 students enrolled in the program, which offers courses in screenwriting, digital media production, film history, the role of race and gender in film, music and film and politics in film.
Ardoin said the creation of this kind of program was overdue, and people are attracted to it partially because of pent-up demand and interest, and because of what the program has been able to produce.
