A Master of Fine Arts is available in two areas of specialization -- film and media production and screenwriting. The MFA programs are designed for the student with a demonstrated commitment to production or screenwriting as a professional, artistic, or academic pursuit.

The three-year MFA in Film Production program covers all production craft specialties, with a strong focus on directing and the art of storytelling. The curriculum equally emphasizes fiction and nonfiction, encouraging students to explore diverse cinematic forms. This blend of narrative and documentary education equips graduate filmmakers with the adaptability and skills to approach stories from unique perspectives and to support new kinds of stories.
