Latest Film School Reviews

Auburn University Visual Media Studies Undergrad
Reviewed by: Alumni
Degree: BA/BS/BFA
Concentration: Visual media studies- sports cideo
Pros
  • Small class sizes
  • Professor mentorship
  • Great athletics video connections
Cons
  • Small program/minimal funding/resources
  • Weak connections/networking opportunities in the film industry
I graduated from the media studies program on the visual media track in 2022 with a 4.0. I found the program to lead me to where I wanted to be which at the time was in athletics video, Auburn had an incredible athletics video company that loves working with students. I felt I learned a little more through my student job in athletics than I did from class work itself. Coursework seemed to be surface level and didn’t push me as much as I wanted in the film direction. However, my confidence behind the camera and in editing grew a ton and I build strong relationships with peers and professors I regularly speak to and work with to this day
