<p>

Is one allowed to double (or triple) major within USC Cinema/TV?

</p>

<p>Do you mean can a criticial studies major double major in production? I don’t know the answer to that, but off the top of my head I doubt it. If you mean can someone in film double major outside of film, the answer is yes. USC encourages students to take courses outside of their major. For a while my son in critical studies had a second major in history, but dropped it to take a minor in peace and conflict studies.</p>

<p>Critical studies students must take two production courses:</p>

<p>

Required Production Courses</p>

<p>Undergraduates admitted to the Critical Studies Program are required to take CTPR 241 Fundamentals of Cinema Technique and CTPR 290 Cinematic Communication. These introductory production courses are taken concurrently during the junior year (see description below).</p>

<p>CTPR 241 is an experiential course dealing with the technical and aesthetic principles of directing, cinematography, editing and the development of ideas through a cinematic vocabulary.</p>

<p>In CTPR 290 students are taught the principles of filmmaking through demonstrations, hands-on production and critical analysis. Each student makes five digital video non-dialogue movies using equipment supplied by the school. A lab fee of $500 and an insurance fee of $500 are required. Students will spend $100 to $200 on production expenses.

<p>Additionally, screenwriting courses are available to them.</p>
