My 2 cents on this:

The big difference is between production and studies. Many schools - most? - offer film studies or media studies as a major. This is a critical thinking / writing / research major. Some schools also offer production. It may include or be divided into film and TV tracks - bigger schools = more TV and more of a track into one or the other. Some schools are now treating digital media as a separate major because that involves the web. I don’t know much about the last kind of program.

I don’t agree that you should wait until grad school to take film production. If that’s what you want to do, then you should do it because much of your learning is on sets, on jobs, through work and the classes expand your skills.
