MFA Film Screenwriting

3 Years On Campus Masters Program

University of New Orleans

Program Overview

The Screenwriting Program at UNO is based on a lively workshop model, allowing MFA students to master the craft of screenwriting in the context of developing and writing their own projects.  It is both intimate and collaborative.  Rather than the siloed approach found at many other MFA Screenwriting programs, students here are encouraged to grow as artists and professionals by taking advantage of the myriad opportunities to be found at a writing program within a film production program within the School of the Arts. These opportunities include gaining hands-on experience in film producing and directing, performance, documentary production, and digital technology -- experiences that can lead to better screenplays, and to students who are better prepared to take advantage of the fast-changing world of professional storytelling.
