APPLIED THEATRE, FILM, AND TELEVISION - BACHELOR OF ARTS (B.A.) at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis

The Bachelor of Arts in Applied Theatre, Film, and Television (ATFT) combines studies in history, theory, and critical analysis with practical experiences in production techniques and creativity.

This degree offers a scholarly and creative context for the general liberal arts student as well as those students seeking intensive preparation for advanced study in these fields.

The ATFT degree offers three possible plans of study based on your interests and goals:

• The Applied Theatre concentration applies diverse theatrical practices to community, educational, or therapeutic contexts.
• The Film and Television Studies concentration takes a deep dive into the critical understanding of film and television as art and artifact, as well as a vehicle for writing, analysis, and interpretation.
• The Integrated Film and Television Studies/Production concentration affords students the opportunity to specialize in production of television or digital film and video within the contexts of historical, theoretical, cultural, and aesthetic studies of these arts.

All three concentrations are fundamentally collaborative and multidisciplinary. They thrive in a liberal arts context that promotes breadth and the integration of learning.
