Mary Emily Deal, Associate Director

The School of Film, Media & Theatre is dedicated to educating the next generation of critically aware media makers, scholars, theatre practitioners and citizens. The school is the largest film and media program in Atlanta, the third largest media capital in America. It is also in the heart of a booming film and television industry, giving students access and experience to navigate the demands of a fast-changing and competitive film, media and theatre world.

Many Film and Media students are looking to enter the rapidly growing film, television, and new media industries in Georgia and around the world, and our curriculum is designed to offer opportunities in hands-on mediamaking instruction while also grounding students in a solid understanding of media history, industry, technology, culture, theory, and criticism.

Like Film and Media majors, Theatre students are following their passion, which is something that all professional employers desire. The School is committed to live performance as a centerpiece of our culture, and we recognize that most media begin with capturing performance.

Major Eligibility Requirements

To be a Film & Media Major and/or to take upper-level (3000-4999) FLME courses. Students must complete the Major Eligibility Requirement. More information can be found in the Film and Media, B.A.  section of the catalog.

College and University Degree Requirements
