About the MFA Program

There is no better place to study film and television than in Hollywood. Based out of our very own Mount Saint Mary's Hollywood studio, our MFA and certificate programs offer the skills, networking and industry experience students need to succeed in the entertainment industry.

The Film, Television & New Media programs at Mount Saint Mary’s University provide students with all of the essential skills needed to create and produce professional films. Students will also build a body of work that demonstrates their abilities in each aspect of the creative and technical process in a professional studio setting. The centerpiece of the department’s curriculum is to encourage collaborative film-making, innovative thinking and a critical, hands-on understanding of new technologies -- all while using the latest equipment.

Class sizes are small to allow personalized one-on-one instruction and mentoring from leaders in the film and television industry.

Spotlight: MFA in Screenwriting

Introducing the MFA in Screenwriting, a joint degree between the Creative Writing and the Film, Television and New Media programs. This degree prepares students for the “new” Hollywood — the decentralized, streaming-oriented industry in which independence and the ability to work within budgets allow the writer-filmmaker to essentially be their own start-up and participate in emerging forums for filmmaking.
