The MA Screenwriting develops dynamic writers for film, television and other audiovisual media in the age of streaming. You will learn the business of screenwriting and hone your writing skills to generate successful content across genres, features, shorts and episodic formats.
The course culminates in a sustained screenplay project you write under the supervision of an industry professional. We have been teaching creative writing, screenwriting and media and communications for nearly a half century.
