Student portfolios being built semester to semester are assessed using a variety of criteria, such as a sophisticated usage of technology, proficiency in storytelling, team communication that speaks the truth in love, requisite hours on set or in post production, creative ability to problem solve.
All CMA majors who entered as “Production” students but who wish to declare an area of concentration (i.e., directing, cinematography, editing, etc.), must do so before earning the requisite 56 units and before registering for the intermediate course in the designated area of concentration.
All Cinema and Media Arts majors must achieve a minimum grade of C in all major courses taken at Biola. Anyone receiving a lower grade must repeat the course and receive a C or better.
CMA students may be required to purchase computer equipment and/or software as may be applicable for their respective degrees. While we understand the financial strains of such equipment expenditures, we also recognize that these technologically driven majors involve costs well beyond the textbooks that serve as the essential tools for many other undergraduate departments. Contact the department for specific equipment recommendations.
