Where can I get my media arts degree?

Answer 1

This depends on whether you'd like to earn a degree in cinema studies or if you would like to actually make films. One can attend either a traditional college with a Film Studies program or a Film School that specializes in film education in order to earn a BFA in film. Many traditional institutions of varying reputations offer degrees in cinema studies without teaching actual filmmaking. If you would like to learn filmmaking, there a few educational institutions that offer accredited Bachelor of Fine Arts programs in Filmmaking.

The New York Film Academy is one of the most established of these institutions. It's emphasis on learning by doing makes the NYFA experience unique amongst other film schools. It was founded in 1992 on the principle that everyone with the drive to make a film should be allowed to learn how. The film schools focuses on practical education - students are put behind the camera the first day of class and begin making films immediately. There is limited time spent in classrooms studying theory or attending lectures.

The NYFA Bachelor of Fine Arts is a 3-year long accelerated program. The intensive degree program employs the New York Film Academy philosophy of learning to make films by actually making them. Students are put through six semesters of equipment training, film production, liberal arts studies and story development. More information is available on their website, http://www.nyfa.com/bfa/.
