<p>I am planning to transfer from a CC for the fall of 2007 to USC. I was wondering if anyone in here had any information about how one can double major in Sociology and Film Production. If one has to Apply to both schools or not. Or if you cant do that at all if your a transfer student. Also my question also applies to UCLA, and Cal State Long beach but mostly to USC.......</p>
<p>You definitely have to apply to the film school. If you are accepted, then you can set up the sociology major later. However, I heard that it is nearly impossible for Film prod students to really double major due to the excessive workload. Also, I believe USC only accepts Junior transfers into the film prod program (but they may make some exceptions.)</p>
<p>thanks, is there a minor in Film Production at USC?</p>
<p>yes there is a minor but you have to apply for that once you are at USC and there are no guarantees of getting in. I think you should apply for film and put Sociology as your second choice major so if you don't get into film you can go in under sociology and apply for the film minor once you are there. It's much easier to switch out of film when you are there than switch in so you should definetly be applying for film production as your first choice on your application.</p>
<p>Once you are in film production it would be very simple to add sociology to your program...</p>
<p>Film production is a very, very intense program - the people I know in it seem to spend all their free time making their student films...so I'm not sure it's possible to schedule in all the classes required for both majors. However, there ARE cinema majors who graduate in 3 years, so you might be able to pull off a 4-year double major program.</p>
<p>I would advise you though, to consider that as USC's cinema school is top in the country (and cinema is so hard to "break into") that if you are accepted to cinema you focus your time and energy on succeeding in that and gaining the highly-competitive film internships after graduation that will really give you a huge advantage in the film production world.</p>
<p>If you choose critical studies instead of production you will have the time to do another major or a minor. You will also have the opportunitiy to do a substanial amount of film work. All film students have to take a prodcution course which requires them to do 5 short films in a semster.</p>
<p>Hi everyone. Can you help with one question. I am a new student at Viterbi with major in aerospace engineering and I would like to earn a degree in mechanical engineering. The difference between those two programs is 4 classes. There are: AME101L Introduction to Mechanical Engineering and Graphics; AME 331 Heat Transfer;AME 409 Senior Design Project; AME 443L Control Systems Laboratory. Can I transfer my pre-major credits such as math,physics and chem from previous college and take that 4 classes in order to earn mech eng degree. If I cannot, can I take them for summer classes? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>mad-toast’s reply also applies to UCLA. You must first be admitted into the film major/minor at UCLA. I don’t know if transfers are allowed to add a second degree for the same reason mad-toast said (too much course work and possibility of not finishing degree on time), but that is probably something you’d have to ask for personally. You can’t apply for both majors as a transfer simultaneously, but there is a chance you can add minors if you can graduate on time. If you want the film major at UCLA/USC, that is the toughest part to get. Focus on that first if that’s what you want. The higher the chance of you graduating on time with both degrees the higher the chance of them allowing you to try to complete both. Usually transfers are hard pressed on time and units so that is why they don’t allow double majors or minors. If you can pull it off I don’t think they would reject your application for another major/minor if you can graduate on time. But it’s easier said than done as a transfer.</p>
