Uchicago Camera California Alumni in Media Entertainment and the Recording Arts
TheWrap's sixth annual ranking of film schools was assembled through an bearding poll of more than 1,200 entertainment-manufacture insiders, educators, deans, filmmakers and film pundits, along with experts tasked with evaluating each school. (And yeah, our poll has means to ferret out and account for attempted ballot-stuffing, which does happen on occasion.)
This year, USC regained the No. 1 spot it had lost in 2020, while Emerson crashed the Top ten, Wesleyan and Stanford took double-digit jumps and a few perennial powers fell slightly. Those jumps meant that Stanford returned to the Peak xx subsequently two years exterior information technology, while Wesleyan joined Cal State, Northridge in making the Summit twenty for the commencement time.
As always, information technology's important to note that ranking film schools is an inherently flawed proposition. We're comparing graduate programs with undergraduate ones and putting huge schools up against small ones. A student perusing this list may well notice the perfect match in the 40s rather than the Top 10 — and with the entertainment manufacture in turmoil, who knows which of these schools will have the key to ready students for the stormy times alee?
ane. University of Southern California
There are movie studios that wish they had the filmmaking resources of the USC School of Cinematic Arts, and no film school can rival its affect on the industry. In fact, information technology's part of Hollywood — if you tin make it through SCA'southward brutal Darwinian microcosm, you'll exist equipped to practise battle in the larger motion picture world. Its Showtime Jobs Program claims to have nabbed employment for more than than 800 grads, and USC ruled this year'southward Student Academy Awards with four winners, plus hogged all but two Western regional honors in the DGA Student Film Awards. In response to COVID, incoming Chair of Production Gail Katz's team created Making Virtual Production: An SCA Faculty Sit-in, a step-by-stride tutorial on producing TV and film virtually.
Innovating to make on-set production safer, SCA's Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) partnered with Universal, Warner Bros., Amazon and others on The Ripple Result, using tech throughout preproduction to minimize the corporeality of time and people on set. Games are increasingly overtaking film in job opportunities, and the Princeton Review has ranked SCA'southward game-blueprint programme No. 1 for a decade. USC Games Expo is Earth's biggest university-sponsored gaming and esports consequence, and its Gerald A. Lawson Endowment Fund, financed partly by Take-Two Interactive Software and Microsoft'southward Xbox Game Studios, supports Black and Ethnic students interested in game design.
So what'due south the downside? USC fabricated headlines with recent scandals and several student suicides. It wasn't SCA'south error, merely it couldn't assist only besmirch the USC brand. And SCA is notorious for beingness much nicer to its successful grads. Merely you know what? So is Hollywood.
2. AFI Conservatory
Small, aristocracy AFI and gargantuan, elite USC perpetually duel for summit honors on best-film-school lists — last year AFI came out on meridian hither — and the fact is that the David to USC's Goliath really does just fine in bridging the gap betwixt the academy and the industry. AFI grads have earned more 140 Oscar honors, including nine nominations and two honorary Oscars since 2016, and 98 Emmy nominations with 14 wins. No other schoolhouse has swept the Student University Awards twice. Thesis films have copped 10 Oscar noms and two shiny gilt men. AFI cinematographers earned 34 Oscar nominations and seven wins. This twelvemonth'southward CODA scored grad Sian Heder the top audience and jury prizes at the Sundance Film Festival and $25 meg from Apple tree Television+. Most first- and second-year students are women, and almost one-half are people of colour. New dean Susan Ruskin, who previously put the University of North Carolina School of the Arts on the national cinematic map, called AFI "a customs that feels like a family." You'll be seated at a long family table that includes grads David Lynch, Carl Franklin, Patty Jenkins, Ed Zwick, Darren Aronofsky, Terrence Malick, Julie Nuance and Paul Schrader.
3. New York Academy
Sure, NYU's film programme (at present Tisch School of the Arts' Kanbar Plant of Film and Television) brought yous Cannes jury president (now NYU prof) Spike Lee, Martin Scorsese, Joel Coen, Chris Columbus, Morgan Spurlock, Ryan Fleck ("Helm Curiosity"), cinematographer Rachel Morrison ("Black Panther"), Vince Gilligan ("Breaking Bad"), Damon Lindelof ("Watchmen") and "Lurid Fiction" editor Sally Menke. Simply what take they done for us lately? Jon Watts' "Spider-Homo: No Manner Dwelling" joins his tingly billion-dollar franchise. "Nomadland" made alum Chloé Zhao the get-go woman of color, kickoff Chinese woman and second woman ever to win an Oscar for Best Managing director (plus Best Picture and Frances McDormand's Best Actress win), plus Golden Globes for director and picture. Nia DaCosta, the first Blackness woman to direct a Curiosity movie ("Captain Curiosity two"), rebooted "Candyman." At the Emmys, 66 Tisch alumni got 64 nominations. At Tribeca Film Festival, there were 138 NYU alumni with 58 projects.
4. Chapman University
Plenty of schools gave the pandemic lip service, but Chapman Academy'due south Dodge College of Film and Media Arts recently spent $iv million upgrading classrooms and $750,000 on COVID protections, compliance supervisors and a full-fourth dimension COVID officer. The better to sustain Dodge'southward run of expert fortune — after years getting less than its due thanks to its Orange County location, it's blossomed (and shot up in several motion picture-school rankings) under dean Stephen Galloway, ex-Hollywood Reporter executive editor and longtime expert in mentoring programs. Stacey Abrams, Eva Longoria, Dana Walden, Samantha Bee and Jennifer Salke talked to students, and trustee-professor Scott Feinberg ran master classes with Bong Joon Ho, Ted Sarandos, Lena Waithe, Pete Doctor and Bryan Cranston. Those classes are open to students at historically Black colleges in a program with Morehouse College. Dodge's multimillion-dollar virtual production studio is in the works, starting with the new LED wall where students shoot in an environment worthy of "The Mandalorian." Over the past twelvemonth and a half, Dodge has hired 25 part-fourth dimension professors of colour and increased the number of full-time Blackness professors from one to four.
5. CalArts
CalArts' School of Movie/Video, enriched by its multi-fine art school context, has programs in motion-picture show/video production, directing and character and experimental blitheness. Its Hollywood rep rests on the 900-pound gorillas it unleashed on animation: Tim Burton, Brad Bird, Andrew Stanton, John Lasseter, Henry Selick, Rich Moore and Pete Docter, head of Disney's Pixar Animation, who collected his ninth Oscar nomination and third win this year for "Soul." Grad Tariq Tapa said CalArts taught him "to recall 10 moves in advance when staging action for the camera." It moves careers correct along: Terminate-motion animator Kirsten Lepore won SXSW and Slamdance prizes; landed clients from Google to Facebook; directed an Emmy-winning Cartoon Network episode of "Hazard Time"; and co-directed (with Lena Dunham) the Planned Parenthood blithe curt "100 Years," featuring Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep and Constance Wu. Grad Daron Nefcy zoomed from Cartoon Network's "MAD" ("I got to brand my own mini-films!") to Nickelodeon to a full-time gig at Disney's "Star." "I think the reason and then many alumni are running shows is that all animation students at CalArts have to make their own films every year," Nefcy said. "Producing a Tv prove is like making a bunch of mini CalArts films. Y'all graduate with four films and, of course, your final movie is much better than the kickoff."
6. Emerson College
During COVID, alum Norman Lear and Bob Newhart Zoomed in to instruct Emerson's 1,700 Visual and Media Arts students. Lear was 1 of five Emerson Emmy winners this yr, and Erik Messerschmidt won the cinematography Oscar for "Mank," on peak of his first Emmy nomination in 2020 for Netflix'south true-crime drama "Mindhunter." Emerson undergrads studied at the Boston dwelling campus, at Emerson L.A.'s big, gorgeous Sunset Boulevard building, at Emerson's medieval castle in the Netherlands and in programs at Paris College of Art (some virtually, most in-person) and Prague'south famed FAMU. While the Boston campus opens a new Emerging Media Lab and a Visual and Media Arts directing studio this term, Dean Robert Sabal said Emerson is looking beyond production: "It'southward an undergrad program in a liberal arts context. We admittedly want students to take skills and networks to be employed, but too to have a broader range of habits and teaching that'southward going to serve them for a whole lifetime." Information technology worked for alums Jay Leno, Richard LaGravenese, Adele Lim (who wrote "Crazy Rich Asians") and ii who fabricated the 2021 Forbes 30 Nether thirty list, music PR agent Lydia Liebman and games growth strategist Maddy Wojdak.
vii. Columbia University
For a small film program, Columbia University School of the Arts looms remarkably large on the New York and national picture show scenes. Students make impressive films, the writing programs are extraordinary and grads report that when they walk into a Hollywood author's room, they fit right in and prosper. Roar-ee the Lion (Columbia'south mascot) had much to get loud nearly in 2021, like the Emmys collected past alums for loftier-profile hits ("The Handmaid'south Tale," "Dick Johnson is Dead," "Lovecraft Country"), iv alum Oscar nominations, and top noms and wins by recent grads at Toronto, Cannes and Venice film fests. But Columbia dropped one slot in TheWrap'south rankings, no doubt thanks to a Wall Street Periodical exposé noting that recent Columbia motion picture alumni had the highest debt compared with earnings among graduates of any major university master's plan in the U.Due south. — this at the nation's 8th-richest private college. The problem is plain non unique to Columbia, merely the Periodical's report still stung. Nonetheless, Roar-ee will keep roaring for grads in the successful footsteps of alums Kathryn Bigelow, Jennifer Lee, Phil Johnson, James Mangold and the endless grads making history at Amazon, Disney, Hulu, Netflix, HBO, ABC, CBS, NBC and abroad.
8. UCLA
UCLA's Schoolhouse of Theater, Flick and Goggle box accepts just four% of undergrad applicants and 14% of grad applicants. They're all aiming to become iconic, like grads Francis Ford Coppola, Alexander Payne, Alex Gibney, Allison Anders, Charles Burnett and Justin Lin, whose ninth "Fast and Furious" film made $592 million. Four alums got 2021 Oscar noms, xiv took films to Sundance and twenty got Emmy noms. But UCLA'south reputation took a beating after an eight-year review by its bookish senate found that TFT was plagued past feuding factions and "chronic operational and procedural problems." And instead of hiring a new dean to replace departing longtime chief Teri Schwartz, the school named an interim dean, Brian Kite. He'due south a leading light of American theater who won the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Joel Hirschhorn Award — but since he's acting, the factions obviously aren't peacefully on the same page yet. Ominously, TFT suspended all 2021 applications for main's programs while it does a comprehensive curriculum review. Still, UCLA remains a powerhouse, and that devastating written report on TFT's political strife also plant that student-kinesthesia advising relationships are wonderful. At UCLA, your thesis picture show can win Sundance glory like Patricia Vidal Delgado'southward coming-of-age movie "La leyenda negra." She called TFT "a filmmaking kicking camp, 12 hours a day, six days a week," and also a bonding experience with faculty and boyfriend students. "You really feel similar they're your family."
nine. Loyola Marymount University
LMU's hot School of Motion-picture show and Tv set hit a bump when film dean Peggy Rajski, who helped prepare the report on UCLA TFT's strife, was herself sacked after reports of abrasive behavior. She was replaced by interim dean Bryant Keith Alexander, who remains every bit overall dean of LMU's College of Communication and Fine Arts. He'south a big-deal educator with a sixth book out this yr, but he'll probable breathe easier when a new pic dean arrives. In better news, LMU SFTV added the 24,000-square-foot Howard B. Fitzpatrick Pavilion, with screenwriting and AR/VR facilities and, soon, a Student Success Center to propel 700 budding film talents per year to careers as brilliant as such LMU luminaries as Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, auteur Brian Helgeland, and Imagine Television president Francie Calfo. LMU launched a new minor in Interactive, Gaming and Immersive Media, and new faculty Rosanne Korenberg, the ex-Miramax and Twentieth Century Fox exec who brought you "I, Tonya" and "Boys Don't Cry" and launched Ryan Gosling and Elliot Page, leads the new joint programme with SFTV and LMU'south business school. Too new or recent: a Motion picture Contained story-development residency, the SFTV Emerging Talent Lab with Village Roadshow and a PA Bootcamp with Ryan Irish potato's One-half Initiative and Ghetto Film Schoolhouse.
x. University of Northward Carolina School of the Arts
Judging from UNCSA's illustrious record of success, the film globe would benefit by giving women more ability. UNCSA's last two incoming film classes were bulk female, and with longtime flick dean Susan Raskin off to AFI, she's succeeded by new dean Deborah LaVine, who ran CalArts' grad directing program and developed European exchange programs. "There is a unique opportunity at UNCSA with five arts conservatories on one campus for cross-collaborative experiences that mirror the way the manufacture is evolving," said LaVine, who's co-directing a new projection with CODA co-star Troy Kotsur. Eminent alums include David Gordon Light-green and Danny McBride, plus the hordes of UNCSA talent working in Atlanta's film scene, including 11 alums who worked on "Jungle Prowl." Grad Zach Seivers got a BAFTA nom as sound editor on Oscar-winning "Nomadland." UNCSA covers the cost of senior thesis films and charges significantly lower tuition than near other premiere film schools.
11. Savannah College of Art and Blueprint
With more than 6,000 students, 31 degree programs, 345,000 square feet of filmmaking facilities in historic Savannah and national film-production hotbed Atlanta and 63,000 almanac visitors to its motion picture festival, SCAD stands alpine in the movie world. It's led by Peabody and SAG Award-winning movie and Tv chair D.W. Moffett ("Traffic," "Chicago Med," "Bosch") and School of Entertainment Arts dean Andra Reeve-Rabb, ex-director of casting at CBS Primetime, New York. "We practise it just like the pros," said Moffett. "We emphasize story over everything else." More than 70 SCAD grads and students worked on Barry Jenkins' "The Underground Railroad," and 130 worked on 21 Oscar-nominated films in 2021. Half of the films in the All-time Picture category and 100% of the films in the Best Visual Furnishings category had SCAD grads working on them. Thanks to its bear on and its autumn film fest — a major stop on the awards circuit — SCAD attracts more than A-list celeb visitors than most West Coast motion picture schools. New kinesthesia this year: Emmy-winning producer/director/writer James Sadwith, whose shows have nabbed 35 Emmy and Earth noms, and Alan Caso, whose "George Wallace" miniseries won ASC's Outstanding Achievement Award.
12. Wesleyan University
Why did a liberal arts college located 2,889 miles from Hollywood jump way up the all-time film schools listing this year? It has to be the hoopla over the new $27 meg, sixteen,000-square-foot Jeanine Basinger Eye for Motion-picture show Studies. Retiring half a century after founding its celebrated Higher of Picture and the Moving Epitome, Basinger is arguably America'due south most love film teacher — forth with Martin Scorsese, with whom she'south working to bring film studies to U.S. high schools. Her eponymous edifice contains a production studio, cyclorama, green screen and archives with the papers of Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, Ingrid Bergman and Frank Capra. "We aren't a film school in the traditional sense," Center manager Scott Higgins said, "nonetheless more than 400 Wesleyan graduates have careers as writers, directors, producers, actors, editors, directors of photography, acquisitions and evolution executives, agents, critics and archivists." Give thanks Wesleyan for Michael Bay, Joss Whedon, Akiva Goldsman, Dana Delany, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Bradley Whitford and Nomadland producer Dan Janvey. Higgins added, "The philosophy is this: Don't teach the skills of filmmaking simply, don't teach history of cinema only, don't train students to become film professionals or academics. Teach the art of thinking cinematically."
13. ArtCenter College of Pattern
"Where improve to learn how to write visual narratives than at a film program within an art and pattern college?" said motion-picture show chair Ross LaManna, who just added screenwriting to the directing, cinematography and editing tracks. "Our didactics philosophy doesn't but level the playing field, information technology tilts the field toward the talented and resourceful. Our mission is to set up students not just to be the best narrative visual storytellers, but to be prepared to step into jobs that don't exist even so." Alums: Michael Bay (who did his graduate work hither) and Alex Gilbert, director of 2021 Cannes Young Manager Award-winning documentary "Airship Boy." Alum and board trustee Zack Snyder headed a fundraising bulldoze to refurbish the Ahmanson Auditorium, turning the crumbling theater into a country-of-the-art cinema with 4K digital, 35mm, Dolby Atmos and HDR color grading.
14. University of Texas at Austin

But RTF'due south 1,160 students as well participate in the nationally noted SXSW fest and impact the industry. Matthew McConaughey is an RTF professor and an alum who infused Hollywood with Texas movie moxie — sort of like Wes Anderson, Renée Zellweger, the Duplass brothers, Tommy Schlamme, Hashemite kingdom of jordan Levin, Jennifer Howell, Michael Barker and "Get Out" executive producer Raymond Mansfield. Mary Steenburgen, Keith Carradine, Edie Falco and Blake Lively have come to Texas to make movies with UT students. "RTF is by far the most affordable meridian product plan in the land," documentary professor Paul Stekler said.
15. Stanford University
Massive fires turned the sky an eerie orangish and COVID raged when Stanford's 6 incoming students arrived for its renowned, ultra-elite MFA documentary programme this yr. "Filmmaking is quite a challenge during COVID," said program director Jamie Meltzer. "Documentary filmmakers have been struggling with how to connect and create during a time when the very nature of what we do has to be changed and reinvented." But Meltzer got inventive and produced a doc, and and so did his MFA students like Azza Cohen, who said the virus "really forced us to be extremely creative and push our boundaries. Nosotros can deal with any other possible hurdles that Hollywood tin can throw at the states." Stanford film alums take won dozens of Student Academy Awards, twenty NATAS awards, viii Fulbrights, two DGA awards and exposure from PBS to HBO.
xvi. Florida Land University
Sometimes regarded every bit a mill that trains students who pay remarkably low tuition to work for remarkably low salaries in Florida's booming showbiz manufacture, FSU has been getting more than and more prestigious lately. 4 of Barry Jenkins' fellow FSU grads earned Oscar noms for "Moonlight" along with him, and when Jenkins got ii Emmy noms for "The Hugger-mugger Railroad," his FSU cinematographer pal (and Oscar-nominated cinematographer) James Laxton again also got honored. Then did four other 2021 FSU Emmy nominees. The highbrow DGA has hailed FSU'southward "distinguished contribution to American culture through the world of film and television." With a v-to-1 educatee/faculty ratio, FSU grads master live-action, blitheness or VFX, and each makes five films and works on dozens by graduation. FSU pays all student motion picture product costs. "And afterward they graduate, they can return to our Torchlight Center, where they tin can make a feature film using our full production packet and postproduction facilities for complimentary," head of admissions Paige Robert said.

Your classmates at RISD fine art school are more often than not not in film — and if they are, they're apt to also piece of work as a painter/lensman, like alum Gus Van Sant. RISD's mix of futurity influencers influencing each other can be fruitful, equally when pre-fame Van Sant encouraged his classmate David Byrne, or Ryan Cunningham befriended alum Geoff Adams of WGBH, who helped her land a gig at The Electric Company. Cunningham, who later added producing Emmy noms for Amy Schumer, Louis C.K. and Amy Sedaris specials, chalks it upwardly to RISD's teaching her about the whole shebang: costumes, set design, props, cinematography, visual furnishings, graphic design, title blueprint and photography.
