A strong hands-on emphasis characterizes the Film and Video Production major in the School of Communications at Grand Valley State University. Emphasis areas include Animation/New Media, Documentary/Nonfiction, Cinema Studies, Fiction Filmmaking, and Sound Design; or students can design their own Individual Study Plan (ISP). The curriculum integrates production experience with the insights offered by media history, theory, and criticism.

Graduates find a wide range of professional employment, both in West Michigan and nationally, including positions in the feature film industry, animation and multimedia, at radio and network television stations, advertising agencies, community access stations, production and post-production houses, school systems, and corporations. Other students have chosen to continue their education in graduate school.
