The Department of Media Arts, a relatively new degree program in the College of Fine Arts, offers the Bachelor of Arts in Media Arts. We serve seventy-some majors and untold numbers of minors, as well as more than 1,500 students per year, through general and specialized courses in film/video history, criticism, and production. Our diverse faculty supports a diverse student body, where among other distinctions, a balanced ethnic representation is sustained by students of color and white students who work together in equal ratios.
The University of New Mexico is located at an altitude of 5,200 feet in Albuquerque, near the center of our state. A city of 600,000 at the base of the Sandia Mountains in the Rio Grande Valley, Albuquerque has much to recommend (it): its many peoples enrich the geographically stunning landscape in terms of their histories, arts and sciences, languages, and cultural values. UNM is a large, diverse state school with a faculty of over 3,000 serving approximately 32,700 students.
