The programs of the Screenwriting Department of the School of Film and Television are designed in accordance with the university’s mission of educating the whole person.

We have developed curricula that allows for a strong emphasis on creativity, process and individual expression without sacrificing the full development of the skills and self-discipline necessary to become working professionals, whether writing feature films or writing and producing for television.

This combination which focuses on a commitment to humanistic values, social justice and diversity both in the student body and in the stories they tell, while at the same time giving students a real-world experience of the entertainment industry, will prepare them for careers as screenwriters and television writers/producers, but it will do more: it will give them the opportunity to make a significant contribution to the entertainment industry.
