Film studies grad programs

Graduate School
1

<p>Hey guys, I was trying to find a solid list of schools that have a film/cinema studies program but a definitive list is very hard to find. So far, from web searching, I've found these schools with the program:</p>

<p>NYU
USC
Columbia
Harvard (new program)
UCSB (new as well)
Northwestern
Brown
U of Wisconsin
Yale</p>

<p>To me, this list seems a little daunting so I was wondering if you know other schools that have film studies/critique programs. Also how does graduate admissions differ from undergraduate admissions? I know ECs are a huge part for undergrad but what about grad? I plan on double majoring in English and Classics, but I want to get my MA/MFA in film studies so I can be a critic. I plan on writing for my college newspaper; I write movie reviews on my blog, which have gotten some small publishment awards...but that's about it, really. How do I prepare myself so I can be a competitive applicant for film studies grad school? I know letters of rec are important but what other things would be good? I'm not big on doing a ton of random ECs; I like doing maybe two or three that i'm passionate about and i'll stick with it forever. I'm particularly interested in NYU and Columbia's grad program. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks!</p>

<p>Undergrad wants you to be well-rounded. Grad wants tunnel vision toward your target interest. ECs not relevant to this don’t matter.</p>

<p>NYU is a great place for what you want to do. Good luck!</p>
