Is There Any Program for Screenwriting Exclusively?

College Majors

<p>Hey guys, </p>

<p>I'm aware that there are a good number of options for people interested in a career in writing of some sort (things like journalism, English/Lit., MFA, etc.), but I'm curious about any degrees that may exist specifically for someone who may be interested in writing screenplays. </p>

<p>Actually, it wouldn't even have to be a degree necessarily, but just classes. I know USC and UCLA have those types of classes, but living in a smaller area the schools here don't seem to have anything like that. </p>

<p>I mostly do this for fun at the moment, but am just wondering about possibilities for more "professional" training. I've sometimes considered submitting some of my work for a pitch. Still mostly a personal creative thing atm, but want to look into possibilities for doing it more seriously (while working in another field that pays teh bills).</p>

<p>Here are some such programs. Most screenwriting programs (including the best ones), however, are MFA programs.

<p>You would find courses in screenwriting in creative writing or film studies (or radio-television-film) programs. You could major or minor in one of those fields in addition to whatever field will provide your day job.</p>
