Screenwriting

Students gathered around a camera checking footage

Students learn the art of screenwriting for film, television, and new media through studies in concept, structure, narrative, and dialogue to craft original projects and adaptations. Writing courses are complemented by studies in media history, theory, and fundamentals for a practical and holistic understanding of the media arts.
