Film & Television Secondary Application
Thank you for your interest in CU Denver’s Film and Television BFA program! This secondary application is required for all Film & Television Program applicants except for those who were previous Film & TV Program students. In addition to completing this secondary application, all applicants must also apply and be admitted to CU Denver. It is recommended that applicants apply to CU Denver before completing this secondary application but these two requirements can be completed in any order.
The Film & Television Department faculty will review applications once per month and applicants will be notified once an admission decision has been made. The faculty will be evaluating this secondary film application in two ways: 1) Examples of work you’ve created and 2) A written essay in which you evaluate a film made by others. Only complete applications will be considered. Both Parts I and II must be completed.
Please note that having no filmmaking experience will not disqualify you. We welcome all applicants. What is important is how well you think about images and story. We are looking for critical thinking and filmmaking potential. If you’ve never made a film or written a script, please choose 1b, ‘still images.’
For Fall Semester applicants, the secondary application early deadline is January 1st and the regular deadline is May 1st. We also have a late application deadline of July 1st. Fall Semester applicants applying after July 1st will be considered on a space-available and case-by-case basis. For Spring Semester applicants, the secondary application deadline is January 10th.
Please send any questions about this application to CAMinfo@ucdenver.edu.
