We proudly maintain a high academic standard
by offering challenging educational programs in a positive
and engaging environment. Our students have the opportunity
to collaborate with our faculty to gain valuable experience
in preparation for professions in film, photography,
television, and theatre. Our programs emphasize learning
through experience by spending many hours in production
and state of the art labs. Through the years, the department
has established a national reputation as a center where
young people successfully prepare for careers in their
chosen area of specialization.
The goal of Department of Media & Theatre Arts
(MTA) is to dedicate itself to excellence in instruction
in order to prepare our students for unique career opportunities.
The department works to further increase our reputation
by graduating academically qualified students, by encouraging
student and faculty production and development, and
by promoting the success of specific outreach programs
affiliated to the department (i.e.
KUSM/Montana PBS, Montana
Shakespeare in the Parks, and Hatchfest).
In order to preserve the highest quality of education
for our students, GPA gates based on performance in
freshman courses are implemented allowing only a limited
number of students to continue in both our Photography and MPVT program.
We invite you explore our web site in order to investigate
the three programs in more detail. For more information
