| Q: |
Are there outside costs in addition to tuition and equipment/lab fees? |
| A: |
Individual course descriptions indicate which costs are a student's responsibility. Some courses require a textbook, or that students provide their own videotape. The Art of Filmmaking requires that students pay for their own film stock and processing, which is estimated to be between $125-$250, depending on the project undertaken. |
