Bachelor of Art in Arts Studies- Film Studies in Raleigh United States | North Carolina State University

The Arts Studies program is an Interdisciplinary Studies degree that enables students to establish a core understanding in one artistic discipline while exploring its societal or technological applications in contemporary contexts. Potential focus areas include digital arts, medical illustration, arts administration, and teaching in the arts.

The curriculum requires 21 credit hours of Foundation Courses designed to create connections between artistic disciplines and their broader human applications. These foundational courses must concentrate on one specific arts field: Film Studies, Music, Theatre, or Visual Arts. Beyond these core requirements, students complete 6 credit hours of studio/practical courses, 6 credit hours of interdisciplinary linking courses, a guided elective, and a culminating Capstone experience.

This major and concentration prepares graduates for diverse arts-related careers, ranging from creative production in fields like filmmaking or music composition to professional paths in arts leadership, cultural administration, arts journalism, and arts instruction.
