Mark Moore Dodge College of Film and Media Arts
TheWrap'due south sixth almanac ranking of film schools was assembled through an anonymous poll of more than than ane,200 entertainment-industry insiders, educators, deans, filmmakers and film pundits, along with experts tasked with evaluating each school. (And yes, our poll has ways to ferret out and account for attempted ballot-stuffing, which does happen on occasion.)
This year, USC regained the No. one spot it had lost in 2020, while Emerson crashed the Peak x, Wesleyan and Stanford took double-digit jumps and a few perennial powers fell slightly. Those jumps meant that Stanford returned to the Top 20 subsequently two years outside information technology, while Wesleyan joined Cal State, Northridge in making the Peak 20 for the beginning time.
Equally always, it'due south of import to note that ranking film schools is an inherently flawed suggestion. We're comparison graduate programs with undergraduate ones and putting huge schools up confronting modest ones. A student perusing this list may well detect the perfect match in the 40s rather than the Pinnacle 10 — and with the amusement manufacture in turmoil, who knows which of these schools volition take the primal to ready students for the stormy times alee?
1. University of Southern California
There are movie studios that wish they had the filmmaking resource of the USC School of Cinematic Arts, and no pic school can rival its impact on the industry. In fact, information technology's part of Hollywood — if yous can make it through SCA's brutal Darwinian microcosm, yous'll be equipped to exercise boxing in the larger movie globe. Its First Jobs Program claims to have nabbed employment for more than 800 grads, and USC ruled this year'due south Student Academy Awards with iv winners, plus hogged all only 2 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 Demonstration, a stride-by-footstep tutorial on producing TV and flick nearly.
Innovating to brand on-set production safer, SCA's Entertainment Applied science Center (ETC) partnered with Universal, Warner Bros., Amazon and others on The Ripple Event, using tech throughout preproduction to minimize the corporeality of time and people on prepare. Games are increasingly overtaking film in job opportunities, and the Princeton Review has ranked SCA's game-design program No. 1 for a decade. USC Games Expo is Earth's biggest university-sponsored gaming and esports outcome, and its Gerald A. Lawson Endowment Fund, financed partly by Take-Two Interactive Software and Microsoft's Xbox Game Studios, supports Black and Indigenous students interested in game pattern.
And so what'due south the downside? USC made headlines with recent scandals and several pupil suicides. It wasn't SCA's mistake, simply it couldn't assist merely besmirch the USC brand. And SCA is notorious for being much nicer to its successful grads. But you know what? Then is Hollywood.
2. AFI Conservatory
Small, elite AFI and gargantuan, elite USC perpetually duel for summit honors on all-time-motion-picture show-school lists — last twelvemonth AFI came out on top here — and the fact is that the David to USC's Goliath actually does just fine in bridging the gap between the university and the industry. AFI grads accept earned more than 140 Oscar honors, including nine nominations and 2 honorary Oscars since 2016, and 98 Emmy nominations with 14 wins. No other schoolhouse has swept the Student Academy Awards twice. Thesis films take copped ten Oscar noms and ii shiny aureate men. AFI cinematographers earned 34 Oscar nominations and seven wins. This year's CODA scored grad Sian Heder the top audition and jury prizes at the Sundance Moving picture Festival and $25 meg from Apple tree TV+. Most first- and second-twelvemonth students are women, and about half are people of color. New dean Susan Ruskin, who previously put the Academy of Due north Carolina School of the Arts on the national cinematic map, called AFI "a community that feels similar a family." Yous'll be seated at a long family unit table that includes grads David Lynch, Carl Franklin, Patty Jenkins, Ed Zwick, Darren Aronofsky, Terrence Malick, Julie Dash and Paul Schrader.
iii. New York University
Certain, NYU'south film program (now Tisch Schoolhouse of the Arts' Kanbar Institute of Movie and Television) brought you Cannes jury president (at present NYU prof) Spike Lee, Martin Scorsese, Joel Coen, Chris Columbus, Morgan Spurlock, Ryan Fleck ("Captain Marvel"), cinematographer Rachel Morrison ("Black Panther"), Vince Gilligan ("Breaking Bad"), Damon Lindelof ("Watchmen") and "Pulp Fiction" editor Sally Menke. But what have they washed for us lately? Jon Watts' "Spider-Man: No Fashion Dwelling" joins his tingly billion-dollar franchise. "Nomadland" fabricated alum Chloé Zhao the first woman of color, start Chinese adult female and 2nd adult female ever to win an Oscar for Best Managing director (plus Best Pic and Frances McDormand's All-time Actress win), plus Golden Globes for director and moving-picture show. Nia DaCosta, the first Black adult female to straight a Marvel movie ("Helm Curiosity 2"), rebooted "Candyman." At the Emmys, 66 Tisch alumni got 64 nominations. At Tribeca Motion picture Festival, in that location were 138 NYU alumni with 58 projects.
4. Chapman Academy
Plenty of schools gave the pandemic lip service, just Chapman University'southward Dodge Higher of Motion-picture show and Media Arts recently spent $4 million upgrading classrooms and $750,000 on COVID protections, compliance supervisors and a full-time COVID officer. The meliorate to sustain Dodge'southward run of practiced fortune — after years getting less than its due cheers to its Orangish County location, information technology'southward blossomed (and shot upwards in several moving-picture show-school rankings) under dean Stephen Galloway, ex-Hollywood Reporter executive editor and longtime practiced 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 Physician and Bryan Cranston. Those classes are open to students at historically Black colleges in a programme with Morehouse College. Contrivance'southward multimillion-dollar virtual product studio is in the works, starting with the new LED wall where students shoot in an environment worthy of "The Mandalorian." Over the by year and a one-half, Dodge has hired 25 part-time professors of color and increased the number of full-time Black professors from 1 to 4.
5. CalArts
CalArts' Schoolhouse of Picture show/Video, enriched by its multi-art school context, has programs in film/video production, directing and character and experimental animation. Its Hollywood rep rests on the 900-pound gorillas it unleashed on blitheness: Tim Burton, Brad Bird, Andrew Stanton, John Lasseter, Henry Selick, Rich Moore and Pete Docter, caput 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 accelerate when staging activity for the camera." It moves careers right along: Finish-move animator Kirsten Lepore won SXSW and Slamdance prizes; landed clients from Google to Facebook; directed an Emmy-winning Cartoon Network episode of "Adventure Time"; and co-directed (with Lena Dunham) the Planned Parenthood animated short "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 so many alumni are running shows is that all animation students at CalArts have to make their own films every year," Nefcy said. "Producing a Idiot box show is like making a bunch of mini CalArts films. You graduate with four films and, of course, your final film is much improve than the first."
half dozen. Emerson Higher
During COVID, alum Norman Lear and Bob Newhart Zoomed in to instruct Emerson'southward 1,700 Visual and Media Arts students. Lear was ane of five Emerson Emmy winners this yr, and Erik Messerschmidt won the cinematography Oscar for "Mank," on summit of his beginning Emmy nomination in 2020 for Netflix'due south truthful-crime drama "Mindhunter." Emerson undergrads studied at the Boston home campus, at Emerson Fifty.A.'due south big, gorgeous Sunset Boulevard building, at Emerson's medieval castle in the Netherlands and in programs at Paris College of Fine art (some virtually, nearly in-person) and Prague's 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's an undergrad programme in a liberal arts context. We absolutely want students to have skills and networks to exist employed, but as well to take a broader range of habits and education that's 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 two who made the 2021 Forbes xxx Nether xxx list, music PR agent Lydia Liebman and games growth strategist Maddy Wojdak.
seven. Columbia University
For a pocket-sized film program, Columbia University School of the Arts looms remarkably large on the New York and national movie scenes. Students make impressive films, the writing programs are extraordinary and grads written report that when they walk into a Hollywood writer's room, they fit right in and prosper. Roar-ee the Lion (Columbia's mascot) had much to become loud about in 2021, like the Emmys nerveless by alums for high-profile hits ("The Handmaid'due south Tale," "Dick Johnson is Expressionless," "Lovecraft Country"), four alum Oscar nominations, and top noms and wins past contempo grads at Toronto, Cannes and Venice film fests. But Columbia dropped one slot in TheWrap's rankings, no dubiousness thanks to a Wall Street Journal exposé noting that recent Columbia moving-picture show alumni had the highest debt compared with earnings amidst graduates of whatever major university master's program in the U.S. — this at the nation'south 8th-richest private college. The problem is plainly not unique to Columbia, but the Periodical'southward report yet stung. Notwithstanding, Roar-ee will go on roaring for grads in the successful footsteps of alums Kathryn Bigelow, Jennifer Lee, Phil Johnson, James Mangold and the countless grads making history at Amazon, Disney, Hulu, Netflix, HBO, ABC, CBS, NBC and abroad.
8. UCLA
UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television accepts just 4% of undergrad applicants and 14% of grad applicants. They're all aiming to get 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 meg. Four alums got 2021 Oscar noms, 14 took films to Sundance and 20 got Emmy noms. Just UCLA's reputation took a beating after an eight-twelvemonth review by its bookish senate found that TFT was plagued by feuding factions and "chronic operational and procedural problems." And instead of hiring a new dean to replace parting longtime chief Teri Schwartz, the school named an acting dean, Brian Kite. He'south a leading light of American theater who won the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Joel Hirschhorn Award — but since he's interim, the factions obviously aren't peacefully on the same folio notwithstanding. Ominously, TFT suspended all 2021 applications for master'southward programs while it does a comprehensive curriculum review. Yet, UCLA remains a powerhouse, and that devastating report on TFT's political strife too found that student-kinesthesia advising relationships are wonderful. At UCLA, your thesis film can win Sundance glory like Patricia Vidal Delgado'due south coming-of-age moving picture "La leyenda negra." She called TFT "a filmmaking boot camp, 12 hours a day, six days a calendar week," and as well a bonding experience with faculty and fellow students. "You really feel like they're your family."
9. Loyola Marymount University
LMU's hot School of Film and Television hit a bump when pic dean Peggy Rajski, who helped prepare the report on UCLA TFT's strife, was herself sacked later on reports of abrasive behavior. She was replaced by interim dean Bryant Keith Alexander, who remains as overall dean of LMU'southward College of Advice and Fine Arts. He'south a big-deal educator with a sixth book out this year, but he'll likely breathe easier when a new picture dean arrives. In improve news, LMU SFTV added the 24,000-square-foot Howard B. Fitzpatrick Pavilion, with screenwriting and AR/VR facilities and, before long, a Educatee Success Centre to propel 700 budding film talents per yr to careers as brilliant as such LMU luminaries equally Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, auteur Brian Helgeland, and Imagine Television receiver president Francie Calfo. LMU launched a new modest in Interactive, Gaming and Immersive Media, and new faculty Rosanne Korenberg, the ex-Miramax and Twentieth Century Play a joke on exec who brought yous "I, Tonya" and "Boys Don't Cry" and launched Ryan Gosling and Elliot Page, leads the new articulation program with SFTV and LMU's concern school. Also new or recent: a Picture show Independent story-development residency, the SFTV Emerging Talent Lab with Village Roadshow and a PA Bootcamp with Ryan Murphy's One-half Initiative and Ghetto Film Schoolhouse.
x. Academy of North Carolina Schoolhouse of the Arts
Judging from UNCSA's illustrious record of success, the moving-picture show earth would do good by giving women more power. UNCSA's final two incoming film classes were majority female person, and with longtime film dean Susan Raskin off to AFI, she's succeeded past new dean Deborah LaVine, who ran CalArts' grad directing program and adult European substitution programs. "There is a unique opportunity at UNCSA with five arts conservatories on one campus for cantankerous-collaborative experiences that mirror the way the industry is evolving," said LaVine, who's co-directing a new project with CODA co-star Troy Kotsur. Eminent alums include David Gordon Greenish and Danny McBride, plus the hordes of UNCSA talent working in Atlanta's film scene, including 11 alums who worked on "Jungle Cruise." Grad Zach Seivers got a BAFTA nom every bit audio editor on Oscar-winning "Nomadland." UNCSA covers the price of senior thesis films and charges significantly lower tuition than about other premiere movie schools.
11. Savannah College of Art and Design
With more than 6,000 students, 31 degree programs, 345,000 square feet of filmmaking facilities in celebrated Savannah and national film-production hotbed Atlanta and 63,000 annual visitors to its film festival, SCAD stands alpine in the moving picture world. It's led by Peabody and SAG Award-winning pic and TV chair D.W. Moffett ("Traffic," "Chicago Med," "Bosch") and School of Amusement Arts dean Andra Reeve-Rabb, ex-director of casting at CBS Primetime, New York. "We do information technology but like the pros," said Moffett. "Nosotros emphasize story over everything else." More than seventy SCAD grads and students worked on Barry Jenkins' "The Hugger-mugger Railroad," and 130 worked on 21 Oscar-nominated films in 2021. One-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 impact and its autumn moving picture fest — a major stop on the awards excursion — SCAD attracts more A-listing celeb visitors than most West Coast film schools. New faculty this year: Emmy-winning producer/director/writer James Sadwith, whose shows have nabbed 35 Emmy and Globe noms, and Alan Caso, whose "George Wallace" miniseries won ASC'south Outstanding Achievement Award.
12. Wesleyan University
Why did a liberal arts college located 2,889 miles from Hollywood leap way upward the best film schools list this year? Information technology has to exist the hoopla over the new $27 million, xvi,000-square-foot Jeanine Basinger Centre for Motion picture Studies. Retiring half a century after founding its historic Higher of Picture and the Moving Prototype, Basinger is arguably America'southward most dear film teacher — along with Martin Scorsese, with whom she'south working to bring moving-picture show studies to U.S. high schools. Her eponymous edifice contains a production studio, cyclorama, greenish screen and archives with the papers of Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, Ingrid Bergman and Frank Capra. "We aren't a movie school in the traditional sense," Center director Scott Higgins said, "yet more than 400 Wesleyan graduates accept careers as writers, directors, producers, actors, editors, directors of photography, acquisitions and development executives, agents, critics and archivists." Thank Wesleyan for Michael Bay, Joss Whedon, Akiva Goldsman, Dana Delany, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Bradley Whitford and Nomadland producer Dan Janvey.

Teach the fine art of thinking cinematically."
13. ArtCenter College of Design
"Where ameliorate to learn how to write visual narratives than at a film program inside an art and design college?" said film chair Ross LaManna, who just added screenwriting to the directing, cinematography and editing tracks. "Our teaching philosophy doesn't but level the playing field, it tilts the field toward the talented and resourceful. Our mission is to set students not just to be the best narrative visual storytellers, just to be prepared to pace into jobs that don't exist nevertheless." Alums: Michael Bay (who did his graduate work hither) and Alex Gilbert, director of 2021 Cannes Immature Director Award-winning documentary "Airship Male child." Alum and lath trustee Zack Snyder headed a fundraising bulldoze to refurbish the Ahmanson Auditorium, turning the aging theater into a state-of-the-art movie house with 4K digital, 35mm, Dolby Atmos and HDR color grading.

But RTF's one,160 students also 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 flick moxie — sort of like Wes Anderson, Renée Zellweger, the Duplass brothers, Tommy Schlamme, Jordan Levin, Jennifer Howell, Michael Barker and "Go Out" executive producer Raymond Mansfield. Mary Steenburgen, Keith Carradine, Edie Falco and Blake Lively have come up to Texas to make movies with UT students.

15. Stanford University
Massive fires turned the sky an eerie orangish and COVID raged when Stanford's vi incoming students arrived for its renowned, ultra-elite MFA documentary plan this year. "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 nosotros do has to exist changed and reinvented." But Meltzer got inventive and produced a dr., and so did his MFA students like Azza Cohen, who said the virus "actually forced us to be extremely creative and button our boundaries. We can deal with whatever other possible hurdles that Hollywood can throw at united states." Stanford picture alums have won dozens of Educatee Academy Awards, xx NATAS awards, viii Fulbrights, two DGA awards and exposure from PBS to HBO.
xvi. Florida State University
Sometimes regarded as a factory 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. Iv of Barry Jenkins' fellow FSU grads earned Oscar noms for "Moonlight" forth with him, and when Jenkins got 2 Emmy noms for "The Underground Railroad," his FSU cinematographer pal (and Oscar-nominated cinematographer) James Laxton over again besides got honored. And then did four other 2021 FSU Emmy nominees. The highbrow DGA has hailed FSU'due south "distinguished contribution to American culture through the globe of pic and television."
