List of film schools in the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United States, there are numerous institutions both public and private dedicated to teaching film either as a department in a larger university, or as a stand-alone entity. Colleges offering film degrees as part of their arts or communications curriculum differ from colleges with a dedicated film program, which offer degrees in multiple aspects of film making such as theory, directing, cinematography, and screenwriting.
The University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, a private film school in Los Angeles, California
The University of Texas at Austin's Department of Radio-Television-Film, home to the school's public film school in Austin, Texas
There is also a distinction between film programs in private colleges and art schools, and purely for-profit institutions.
