In our program, we utilize a professional, experiential approach to learning. Unlike many TV/Film Departments, at DeSales, you’ll learn to use equipment in your first year. Right from the start, you’ll test your talents using cameras and editing systems. You’ll be broadcasting and making films. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore your interests, expand upon your strengths, and improve y
our artistic and technical skills. Mixing practical application and theory from the beginning, our program covers a wide range of production experiences. Television shows, ranging from news, sports, and music videos, to short comedies and dramas on film, are always in production here. Students are the driving force behind every phase of these productions—including writing, directing, filming, lighting, on-air, producing, and editing. We offer our students an array of writing, production and editing courses. In addition to those courses and electives, students enrolled in the program are required to take media literacy, marketing management, and history. Every spring we showcase the most outstanding work produced by TV Film majors in a two-day film festival in the Labuda theater. Additionally, Channel 99 transmits to the campus community and often features diverse programming, including student film and video submissions.
