Production students come from a variety of backgrounds. Many come with undergraduate degrees such as business, computer science, fine arts, psychology, communications, and more. Courses in business management, project management, entrepreneurship, accounting, organizational behavior, communication, monetization, marketing, and academic writing and research are helpful. Producers need to be able to work well in a team environment, so courses that teach project and team based learning are valuable.
