Assistant Professor of Cinematic Arts – Media Production

Introducing Houston Christian University

At Houston Christian University, our Christian liberal arts, professional, and graduate programs have equipped students to lead, collaborate, and discover out of a deep sense of purpose for more than 60 years. We are driven forward by our central confession, “Jesus Christ is Lord,” and defined by our “Ten Pillars” core convictions. From this foundation we guide students confidently into discerning discovery, preparing them to think biblically, critically, and holistically about how to engage the world. We aspire to care for every student by meeting their academic, spiritual, and social needs with mentorship and support. At HCU, we are cultivating a culture of excellence that will mold a new generation of leaders in their communities, standard-setters in their professions, and fruitful disciples in their churches.

HCU is set in the heart of one of the most diverse and fastest-growing cities in the nation—and our growth and diversity match the dynamism of the city we call home. We continue to break records with our incoming freshmen class sizes, our graduate programs have more than doubled in the past decade, and we are significantly expanding our online programs as well.

The Department of Narrative Arts, part of the School of Fine Arts at HCU, offers undergraduate degrees in Cinematic Arts, Animation, Video Game Design, Graphic Design, and Creative Writing, as well as two MFA writing programs including Screenwriting and Fiction. The dynamic programs are unified by a strong focus on storytelling and emphasize a hands-on, conservatory-like pedagogy.
