If you’re interested in the creative possibilities of the visual media, consider entering our bachelor of fine arts program.

Creative professionals who are able to understand “the big picture” and meet the demands of both the boardroom and the design studio have never been in such high demand, as businesses seek ways to maximize the impact that a single picture or just a few well-place words can have on an audience.

Full Sail University’s Media Design Master of Fine Arts online degree program explores the strategic planning behind design. By diving into the strategic solutions needed for the complex challenges that companies encounter throughout the creative process, you’ll be able to channel your artistic skills into a vision that’s both creatively fulfilling and professionally demanding.

NEW YORK FILM ACADEMY

admin — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 00:13:57 +0000

DESCRIPTION
The Film School at the New York Film Academy was founded in 1992 on a belief that a top quality education in filmmaking should be accessible to anyone with the drive and ambition to make films. The Academy opened its doors in 1992 in Robert DeNiro‘s Tribeca Film Center. Since that time we have grown into our own facilities in Manhattan‘s Union Square and Soho; as well as, a degree granting campus in Los Angeles at Universal Studios. We hold One and Two-Year and short-term programs throughout the year in these locations; as well as, degree programs at the Universal Studios Campus. During the summer we offer our short-term programs at a number of additional locations, including Harvard University; Disney Studios- Florida; Paris, France; London, England; and Florence and Rome, Italy.

Click here to view the embedded video.

New York Film Academy degree programs are offered at our Los Angeles Campus at Universal Studios. Qualified students have the option of attending the New York Film Academy in New York City in a one-year non-degree program and requesting that their course work be accepted for advanced standing in a degree program at the Los Angeles campus. In order to do so, students must apply and be accepted to the degree program in Los Angeles.

ADVANTAGES
The many different programs of the New York Film Academy share a philosophy that balances in-class instruction by award-winning filmmakers with an intense exploration of the medium through practical, hands-on work. For us, learning by doing means requiring each student to make a series of short films. This takes them through the entire filmmaking process.

For many students, the time and tuition required to complete a four-year university program are impractical burdens. We believe that students provide the talent; we provide the instruction, equipment and structure. It is the students‘ drive and creative ability that carries them forward.

THINGS TO CONSIDER
Orson Welles once stated, “If you give me three days, I can show you the ABCs of film.” The New York Film Academy gives our students a bit more time – our programs run from four, six, and eight weeks to one or two years. Our goal is to give students the basic tools and practical hands-on experience needed for filmmaking. This lays a solid foundation for future work. The students themselves will apply what they have learned to whichever path they take.

FINANCIAL AID
The New York Film Academy has a variety of options for funding your studies. Our Financial Aid Director, Brian Koplow, will assist you in assessing your needs and refer you to the best funding source. You can reach him at financialaid@nyfa.edu.

SUMMARY
