Executive Summary An Executive Summary that provides a one to two-page summary/abstract of the information contained within the Self-Study Report. Since the summer of 2016, Cinematic Arts has experienced enormous change. Until recently, the department was the smallest in the College of Fine Arts. The faculty was made up of four associate professors, one assistant professor, one lecturer, one professor of practice, and seven adjuncts. We offered one degree, the B.A. in Media Arts, and a minor in Media Arts. Our highly committed, popular instructors consistently served a large number of students. For instance, in 2013/14 there were a total of 1554 enrollments in Cinematic Arts classes. In 2016, the faculty and staff of Cinematic Arts began to administratively oversee another UNM program: Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media (IFDM). As a result, the department now offers two majors (in Media Arts and IFDM) as well as the minor in Media Arts. The buildings we occupy have increased from one to three. We now have eight fulltime instructors and eighteen adjuncts. The number of majors
