BCA Entertainment Practicum

 

BCA Entertainment Practicum

The BCA Entertainment Practicum is a groundbreaking, immersive academic program that explores the global impact of the entertainment business. First, all students complete an internship in Los Angeles, exposing them to a hands-on industry environment. Then, students will travel to an international city with a thriving film and television production sector. During the trip, students meet with producers and executives from top studios and talent agencies. The experience features opportunities for mentorship, cultural immersion, and instruction both in the classroom and out in the field. The practicum enables exploration of business practices and career paths in entertainment that exist at the global level, encouraging students to expand their horizons beyond the Hollywood studio system.

 

In May 2025, the BCA Entertainment Practicum will visit London, England.
