Computer Science and Film

<p>My friend is interested in possibly double-majoring in film production and/or studies and computer science (or doing a major in one, minor in the other). What schools have top departments for both?</p>

<p>Man, i'm in the same boat. I was looking at UCLA. But i don't think they will let me stay there since i'm already a junior with only 2 years of core classes. (i would have to go at least 3 more years.)</p>

<p>UT-Austin is very good in both.</p>

<p>Frankly, I think it would be very difficult or even impossible to take both programs at once. :rolleyes:<br>
However, knock yourself out: FSU</a> Film School, Computer</a> Science</p>

<p>how about a major in film with a minor in CS? Or Vice versa if you are stronger the other way around? A minor in either one would definitely provide you a strong foundation with which to learn more on your own, or in the feild.</p>

<p>Either way, if you plan to go into CS at all. You need to get math through calc II out of the way, and go ahead and take a chemistry sequence, (just in case you decide you like computer engineering better). This way, for a minor in CS, all you have to worry about is Discrete and Advanced Data stuctures, C, and a few more of your choice. I believe those first two are where the most of the foundation lies anyway. (correct me if i'm wrong)</p>

<p>Either way, go to the school that has the one you want to do more as a better program. Remember, damn near every school has a CS program, and not a whole lot changes. But only a few schools have a decent film program.</p>

<p>I think people have done this at Wesleyan; with the right faculty-advisor, it would not be an unusual major.</p>
