<p>To anybody looking for a good film program outside of what most people think of, I graduated with my BA in Film and Digital Media from Baylor. The professors were all excellent and I was able to start filming projects in my second class for the major. Freshman are allowed to take that course, as well, as it has no pre-requisites, and some people outside of the department actually choose to take it, as well, simply because it is a good, fun elective. The professors do their absolute best to provide the students enough opportunities to learn and practice, including having some sort of opportunity to work on the set of a short or feature-length film nearly every summer in Waco as an elective that counts toward the degree. The Baylor in New York program is also excellent and a great way to fit in an internship while getting out of Waco for a semester, and the professors have contacts at Sony, Canon, and the NAB.</p>
<p>sum17mer, your daughter could look at Baylor’s video game design program as one example. The program is quickly being recognized on a national level, including being in the Princeton Review’s top 50 programs, and requires students to take both computer science and film production courses in order to complete the degree requirements. I have several friends in the program now, and while it is hard and stressful, they seem to love it. It’s a concentration listed under the computer science department, so students earn a B.S. from the program.</p>
