The thesis requires intensive applied learning in order to complete a feature-length project and/or body of work. The student cannot enroll in thesis hours until the thesis advisory committee has been selected and approved. Once a student has begun to take thesis hours, they must enroll in at least one thesis hour for each remaining term until graduation. Students may spread out thesis hours any way they wish but are advised to follow recommendations in the program handbook. The thesis project has a strong research component both in the initial development phase and in the creation of the distribution and marketing plan for the project. In addition to creating the feature film or body of work, the student must write an accompanying thesis paper that meets all university requirements (see ETD Requirements). The final stage of the curriculum serves as a bridge to the professional world and supports the entrepreneurial philosophy of the program. The thesis project must be reviewed by the faculty adviser throughout the production process and meet agreed upon criteria within a stated time frame. Once the thesis project is completed, candidates must have a screening or exhibition of the work and meet with the thesis advisory committee for final approval and oral defense.</li></ul></li></ul><h3>Equipment Fee</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>Students in the Feature Film Production MFA program pay a $90 equipment fee each semester that they are enrolled.

committee to submit and discuss the proposed project and obtain the committee's approval. The thesis requires intensive applied learning in order to complete a feature-length project and/or body of work. The student cannot enroll in thesis hours until the thesis advisory committee has been selected and approved. Once a student has begun to take thesis hours, they must enroll in at least one thesis hour for each remaining term until graduation. Students may spread out thesis hours any way they wish but are advised to follow recommendations in the program handbook.\n\nThe thesis project has a strong research component both in the initial development phase and in the creation of the distribution and marketing plan for the project. In addition to creating the feature film or body of work, the student must write an accompanying thesis paper that meets all university requirements (see ETD Requirements). The final stage of the curriculum serves as a bridge to the professional world and supports the entrepreneurial philosophy of the program. The thesis project must be reviewed by the faculty adviser throughout the production process and meet agreed upon criteria within a stated time frame. Once the thesis project is completed, candidates must have a screening or exhibition of the work and meet with the thesis advisory committee for final approval and oral defense.</div></div></li></ul></li></ul></div></div></section><section><header data-test=\"grouping-4-header\"><div><h2 data-testid=\"grouping-label\"><span>Equipment Fee</span></h2></div><div><span>0</span><span>Total Credits</span></div><div><div><button aria-label=\"Collapse\"><i></i></button></div></div></header><div><div><ul><li data-test=\"ruleView-A\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A-result\"><div>Students in the Feature Film Production MFA program pay a $90 equipment fee each semester that they are enrolled.
