The Screenwriting curriculum has been cooperatively designed by our distinguished faculty to create a cohesive program for the serious student. Upon completing the core sequence of screenwriting courses, students have a comprehensive grounding in story, character, theme, action, visuals, and dialogue, as they have been carefully guided through the entire screenplay writing process.
Early registration is strongly advised. In order to ensure the quality of each course, enrollment is strictly limited. If a desired course is filled, call the Film Program Advisor at (212) 229-8903 to inquire about additional classes that might still be open. The Screenwriting Certificate Program is for the committed student at any experience level. Upon completion, participants should have a professional screenplay ready for the marketplace.
Note: There is no formal admissions selection process, but all certificate students must have their courses approved by the Film Program Advisor prior to registration. For admission information or program advising, attend Open House night or call the Film Program Advisor at (212) 229-8903.
