Dodge College Fees

Beyond the cost of standard tuition, students majoring within Dodge College may accrue additional costs in the form of class fees ranging from $75 to $300. Money collected through these fees supports the school’s special events and weeknight screenings. Higher fees provide the equipment necessary for creating film and video productions, provide the computer labs and software, and support the production environment generally.

For advanced production classes, in addition to the discretionary funds and basic equipment provided by the school, it is likely that a project will incur standard costs related to the production of a film, which may include such things as insurance premiums, external equipment rentals, film purchases and processing. These costs can range anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the specific needs of each project. Some of these expenses may be underwritten by the school but will otherwise be the financial responsibility of the students involved.
