Overview

Students can study an emphasis in acting, cinematography, digital media studies, directing, editing, fashion studies, film and media studies, producing, or screenwriting.

Our affiliation with Arizona State University means our students receive the personal attention and faculty mentorship of a small liberal arts school and the resources of a major public university.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.
