Students can fulfill the CAMS comps requirement by successfully completing a comprehensive exam based on the core curriculum. In preparing for the exam, students are encouraged to organize themselves into study groups and to share syllabi.

OPTION TWO: INDIVIDUAL PROJECT

As an alternative to taking the comprehensive exam, students may opt to submit a proposal for an individual project rooted in the histories or theories of film, television, radio, the Internet, or video production, audio production, screenwriting, photography or graphic design. Proposals are typically due the second week of fall term.
