About Us
As one of the most highly regarded film schools in the country, USC is an incredible place to study the art of film.
Students choose from over thirty courses in production, screenwriting, game design and animation, and producing and editing. These include options like Documentary Filmmaking, Writing Screenplays, Writing a TV Series pilot, Digital Editing, and Creating Storyboards for Animation. Moreover, students can take up to eight credits worth of classes (most classes are between 2-4 credits each). Each course has its own objectives but all are hands-on.
In addition, students who successfully complete these summer film programs earn college credit.
The program is academically rigorous鈥擴SC expects students to spend most of their free time completing homework and projects. As such, they do not schedule extracurricular or community building activities. However, there are some optional activities and seminars that include industry meet-and-greets and pre-release movie screenings.
In addition to a general application, students will need to submit a 30-60 second video introduction as well as a writing sample and transcript.
