<p>152422,</p>

<p>Columbia and Stanford do not have film schools in the same sense as USC and NYU. At Columbia a student can study film in their School of the Arts. The scope of their film studies major does not approach that provided by SC or NYU, in my opinion.</p>

<p>At Stanford the film studies major is fairly new. I think it was approved in 2005. Their film and media studies is a major within the Department of Art and Art History. </p>

<p>Since this is the SC forum I suggest you post your question on the individual forums. An article about film schools and rankings has been posted this week on this forum. It will give you additional information about the universities you mentioned in your post and details about faculty, alumni and facilities.
