Bachelor of Arts in Video Production

A Degree for Your Point of View

It’s an interesting fact that almost every one of us can create compelling videos with the equipment that is in our pocket or purse—right now. And there are endless opportunities via social media to share our creations. But have you ever thought of taking those skills to the next level? Is it possible that this just might be your calling? If you are a creative individual looking for the skills necessary to create professional quality and visually compelling stories, animations, artistic expressions, or perhaps musical experiences, consider the Video Production program offered by the Creatio Center at Northwest University.

Concentrations Include:

  • Animation and Motion Video
  • Live and Live Action Video

Why Video Production at Northwest University?

Our newest degree program will focus on all elements of digital video as well as audio production and recording technology—composition, editing, staging, live productions, and more. Right from the beginning, you’ll be using industry standard equipment and editing software in studios that have been designed by professionals. Students will choose from two separate concentrations: The “Live and Recorded Video Concentration” will focus on creation of live productions and video recording and editing. The “Animation and Motion Video Concentration” will focus on animations, frame-based videos, and video games.

A Message from a Creatio Partner

Those of us at Vossler Media Group are incredibly excited about the Video Production program at Northwest University. Over the last few years we have hired several graduates from their audio programs and have been very impressed at their ability to contribute at a high-level right from their first day on the job. Perhaps most impressive has been their familiarity with the professional tools and techniques that our own audio experts use on a regular basis. And now, with the introduction of this new Video Production program, we are looking forward to seeing the same level of excellence as we hire video producers, cinematographers, or film editors for our studio.

Michael Vossler

Founder, Vossler Media Group
