<p>I am looking for advice and am planning to apply as a Film Major. I assumed that the only option was the Transmedia Dept. in the School of Visual ARts but as I am doing my research I see that there is a Film,TV, Radio option in Newhouse as well. Anyone have any insight on which is better for someone who wants a balanced program with an emphasis on cinema studies vs. production? Can you take classes and/or double major in both departments? I hear Newhouse is the most difficult college to get into? Is that true? Any help would be great. Thanks.</p>
<p>anyone? would love some info on this.</p>
<p>School of Visual and Performing Arts, department of transmedia</p>
<p>Thanks…but why? I have to say that when I toured the film dept. I was not impressed with the facilities at all…and it truly concerned me.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I’ve heard much of the same. At this point i’m leaning towards Chapman (film studies), but am visiting Cuse on 4/13 and really want to be impressed</p>
<p>The Newhouse program is probably your better bet if you want to embark on documentary filmmaking. Good faculty in that area.</p>
<p>I can’t comment on the film facilities you mentioned but if you’re talking about VPA… that school does need a lot of help with its non art/design facilities, particularly the music facilities.</p>
<p>How about for film/cinema studies with perhaps a minor in magazine journalism?</p>
<p>is there a cinema studies/film studies degree at syracuse? like in the college of arts and sciences? if so that’s what i would do</p>
<p>I believe it is in the dept. of Transmedia and has some production and film studies/theory courses although I was not too impressed with the dept/facilities of that particular school when I was there. Looking for an excuse for Newhouse I think.</p>
