FTV course information

Most FTV courses that count in the major are not available to students in Fall and Spring semesters, unless and until they have been accepted and declared in the major — exceptions are FTV 301, FTV 325, and FTV 400, which (if offered) are available to all UA students via UAccess registration.

FTV courses offered in Summer sessions (including FTV 100A, FTV 100B, and FTV 200, which all count in the FTV major) are available to all UA students via UAccess registration, beginning in April.

BFA Film & Television

Eligibility

You must be a current major in the BA Film & Television at the U of A. (Non-UA students and non-Film & TV majors cannot be admitted directly into the BFA degree and must first apply to the BA Film & Television.)

Students must complete all of the following courses by the end of the Fall semester in which they apply: FTV 100A, 100B, 200, 210. (Because these courses are not all offered in the Fall semester, students beginning at UA in a Fall semester will NOT be eligible to apply to the BFA Film & Television until the following Fall semester. This application is intended for students in the Fall of their sophomore year.)

To enter the BFA Film & TV, you must have a minimum UA cumulative GPA of 2.5 by the beginning of the Spring semester in which the BFA courses begin.

BFA Information Workshops

You must attend ONE of the following BFA information workshops. (Please be on time; prior registration is not required to attend.)
