MFA Film: Writing for Film & Television

3 Years On Campus Masters Program

Columbia University

Program Overview

For many years Columbia has been known as the “Story School.” Our emphasis on teaching students to find their voices and construct compelling and well-structured character-based narratives of all different styles and for a variety of markets has differentiated us from other film programs. The three-year film and TV writing concentration at Columbia will build on this tradition and is designed to help talented young writers learn to tell their stories in the strongest ways to prepare them for real world careers in screenplay and teleplay writing. Many of our writing students go on to quickly get representation and find work in the industry – in diverse jobs from the writers rooms of hit TV shows, to original features for the studios, to independent feature writing, to international writing careers all over the world.
