The Motion/Picture/Video/ Theatre (MPVT) option in the School of Film & Photography is a comprehensive program encompassing film studies, technical skills, and production processes and provides a solid foundation for our students to achieve successful careers in the highly competitive film industry. Our students are exposed to a variety of courses ranging from theatre and production processes, acting, writing, editing, directing, cinematography, lighting, sound and production design. The final year of the program is capped off with an individual senior project that is approved and developed in consultation with a team of faculty advisors.
As this major is in high demand, the department implements a gate system (see MPVT gate requirements below) in which only students who meet specific grade point averages in required courses are accepted into the program.

When any of the three required first-year Film courses have been attempted at MSU, a student's grade may change only by retaking that specific course in Film (i.e., no transfer credits or other substitutions for the specific course are permitted). In addition, admission to the upper division 300 - and 400 - level courses in Film requires a combined GPA of 3.0 in all departmental classes required at the 100 - and 200 - levels.
