The cinema major offers courses in film history, criticism, and production, along with a strong foundation in the fundamentals of theatre performance. Through a balanced course of study, students learn about the history of cinema, its visual designs and production methods, its role in modern social and political movements, and its business operations. Through hands-on projects, students gain experience in the art and practice of cinematography and film making. Each year, the School of Performing Arts hosts the Progeny Short Film Festival. The festival showcases short filmmaking by independent filmmakers and students.

International Baccalaureate Education System
Virginia Tech encourages prospective students to seek the most challenging high school courses possible. Students taking International Baccalaureate (IB) courses will be considered competitive for freshman admissions. An applicant's entire academic profile will be reviewed holistically.
To receive credit for International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations, an official transcript of examination results should be forward to the Registrar's Office directly from the issuing institution. To determine how many credits you may receive please visit the Registrar's website.
All first-year and transfer students accepting admission to Virginia Tech and seeking college credits for IB examinations must arrange for an official transcript of examination results to be sent to Virginia Tech by the IB Offices once available.
