University of Chicago - Department of Cinema and Media Studies
Excellent Program: Bad PoliticsI want to start this off by saying I got an amazing education from the University of Chicago. It's one of the top schools in the country for a reason. More specifically, the Cinema Studies Program is diverse, engaging, and perfect for anyone who is looking to learn about film from a historical... -
American University - School of Communication (B.A.)
A Positive PerspectiveAU is a bit of a diamond in the rough in terms of Film BAs. Well, maybe not diamond - but one of the lesser gems. I had a great experience at AU and within my major but I struggle to agree that I went to "film school". The film program has a lot of excellent professors - as well as some okay... -
California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) - Program in Film and Video (B.F.A.)
CalArts Film/Video Undergrad ExperienceCalArts' Film program is known to be more experimental; however, I wouldn't say it focuses solely on art-house cinema or experimental cinema, but presents it in the curriculum as a method of filmmaking. I learned a lot of filmmaking theory while at CalArts through watching making films and... -
Cleveland State University - School of Film & Media Arts

I was mostly interested in screenwriting and that wasn't really an option at the time so I took the one screenwriting class offered and then took playwriting classes in the English department. My biggest... -
University of North Texas
You Get What You Put InStarted the program off with an intro film professor who had no desire to help me learn. A lot of classes you need to get through before you can do "real" classes. Can be frustrating because I would have to take Radio and TV (live broadcast) classes when I only wanted to work on film. Film...
