How time-consuming is the film production major? (double-majoring)

Colleges & Universities University of Southern California

<p>It’s interesting to look at the required courses and sequence for the new BFA in Production. From my quick look, it seems there is room for 32 elective units, and if you bring in the right APs (Euro or Art History + Bio or Chem or Phys) you’d have room for 8 more units. However, if one wants to get a dual degree (BA) for their second major, they would also need to add language (or place out) which could add 12 units more. </p>

<p>It’s also interesting to note that the new BFA requires 64 units, including 4 courses (16 units out of total 64 units for the major) of Critical Studies courses. <a href=“http://cinema.usc.edu/production/sample_four_year_plan_bfa_production.pdf[/url]”>http://cinema.usc.edu/production/sample_four_year_plan_bfa_production.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Just for comparison, the BA in Critical Studies requires 52 units, including the same 4 CS courses as the Production BFA. Again, just 16 units. <a href=“http://cinema.usc.edu/criticalstudies/undergradrequirements.cfm[/url]”>http://cinema.usc.edu/criticalstudies/undergradrequirements.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>For anyone who is applying to USC SCA, you should look closely at the required courses for each major as they are very very similar. The extra BFA units appear to be in additional production practicums and similar.</p>
