Certificate in Documentary Production

|
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.
Program Prerequisites (6 credits)
Per SOU’s Credit for Prior Learning Policy, credits may be earned by students who can demonstrate that they have gained university-level knowledge and skills that articulate with university coursework. To earn CPL for DCIN 101, 102, and/or 103, students must exhibit competency in three areas of technical skill: audio recording, DSLR video, and non-linear video editing. The CPL portfolio for Digital Cinema courses involves both a multiple-choice exam and a hands-on demonstration of the applicable skills. Please consult the program chair and the Credit for Prior Learning Policy .
