The Cinema Arts program at Palm Beach Atlantic University provides students a first-class training from a Christian perspective in the effective and dynamic communication of messages through the entertainment media of motion pictures and television. Given the enormous power of the mass media to define public debate, impact cultural and social change, and influence personal behavior, our vision is to empower aspiring Christian media professionals to make a positive contribution to society through entertainment.

Major areas of study equip Cinema Arts students to communicate pro-social or redemptive messages, particularly through parabolic storytelling. This preparation will allow graduates to pursue careers in the television and feature film sectors of the entertainment industry, as well as in audio-visual production in corporate, governmental, church and parachurch organizations.
