OC International Education - Profile - Bachelor of Applied Science: Filmmaking




Bachelor of Applied Science: Filmmaking

One of the highlights of Olympic College's 70+ academic degrees and certifications is the Filmmaking program. For international students seeking degrees in the creative industries, there is still no better country to be trained in the creative arts than in the United States. 

Students who have an interest in a career in the filmmaking industry will find no other Bachelor's degree film program with the combination of innovation and affordability as they will find at Olympic College. The professors of the program have Hollywood experience and connections, and they are actively producing high-profile film projects. The value of program lies in the amount of practical experience and training that students can receive from projects among the beautiful backdrop of the Olympic Mountains of the Pacific Northwest. The costs of the Associate's and Bachelor's degrees at OC, which are the lowest in the country, are a fraction of the cost of degrees from other well-known American film schools.

The OC Film School is featured on The College Tour

The Bachelor of Applied Science: Filmmaking program is a career-oriented, applied degree that prepares students for a range of positions in the rapidly changing field of digital film, including jobs in video production, directing, cinematography, screenwriting, and acting. The degree also prepares you for digital content production in a variety of industries, including jobs with branding, marketing, and advertising companies, businesses in any industry that creates digital content for training purposes, and entrepreneurial opportunities.

While our degree stands apart from others by enabling you to learn a broad range of creative and technical skills in all film subjects, you may focus on an area of study for the senior thesis project to deepen skills in a specific role.
