In addition to the extensive career-focused programs and support offered College-wide, the Champlain Filmmaking (BFA) program features learning opportunities that help our students create highly marketable résumés.
Highlights include:
Many of our Filmmaking majors have worked on professional film projects while they are still students.
All members of the Filmmaking faculty are professionals in their field, which is an essential factor in our students getting the most cutting-edge education in the field possible.
Filmmaking majors have an opportunity to showcase their films at the Vermont International Film Festival's Student Filmmakers Showcase and have earned recognition and awards from the New England chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS).
Filmmaking majors have had internship opportunities in locations such as Montreal, Canada, and Los Angeles, in which they gained extensive hands-on training in the film industry.
In fact, 81% of Filmmaking graduates in the Class of 2019 are employed or continuing their education within six months after graduating. Of those employed, 92% are in positions relevant to their career goals.
Champlain's Career Collaborative team surveys alumni six months after graduation to find out how job searches are going. The College-wide results below are based on an outstanding 91% response rate—significantly higher than most post-graduation college surveys.
Our graduates are thriving; their Champlain education prepared them with real-world experience that sets them apart in their field.
