Welcome to the USC School of Cinematic Arts, where we invite you to explore and expand the power and potential of film, television and new media. Throughout the 20th century and now in the 21st, the School of Cinematic Arts has nurtured and inspired the writers, directors, scholars, entrepreneurs, producers, animators, interactive designers and others who have developed an unparalleled mastery in cinema, television and new media. At the heart of our students’ success is the knowledge and experience gained from the school's unique and time-tested philosophy of forging a nexus where cinematic theory and practice meld with one another. Our interdisciplinary approach enables students, regardless of their chosen area of specialization, to take courses across our seven disciplines, without boundaries, in order to train fully-formed media makers, collaborators, and scholars situated to flourish in their chosen career path. Founded in 1929 in collaboration with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the USC School of Cinematic Arts is the oldest film school in the nation. Fight On!
