The Documentary Production Certificate is designed for non-degree-seeking students and traditional degree-seeking students majoring in other disciplines who have a passion for non-fiction media production specific to their disciplines or wish to be engaged in social issue documentary production. The certificate includes hands-on technical training in audio/visual production in both studio and field settings, as well as storytelling and post-production. Students also explore documentary methods, ethics, and conventions, as well as journalistic multimedia creation.
Documentary students must select a concentration from the following eight disciplines: Criminology & Criminal Justice; Environmental Science & Policy; Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies; History; Native American Studies; Outdoor Adventure Leadership; Political Science; or Sociology & Anthropology.
Students with a portfolio that demonstrates technical proficiency and professional experience in target areas may apply to receive credit for prior learning, which may be used to substitute program prerequisites or lower-division course requirements.
