Within the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT), the UCLA Department of Theater's Playwriting program welcomes adventurous students who look forward to intensive collaboration with their peers in acting and directing. In the first year, Playwriting, Acting and Directing students will collectively study playwriting, acting, directing, voice and movement. Collaborative projects include a series of original performance pieces and a One Act Festival. After the first year of study, students will be frequently brought together for further collaborative projects with their peers in acting, directing and design. The Marianne Murphy Women & Philanthropy Award in Playwriting generously supports additional play readings. Playwrights in the Theater MFA program are expected to complete a one-act play, a full-length play and to participate in the One Act Festival during their first year. In the second year, they will complete a second full-length play, a one-person play, and an additional project such as a screenplay or an adaptation for the stage. The third year typically includes participation in the New Play Festival for full-length plays, and an internship with a professional theater, film or television company or comparable environment. Playwriting faculty includes successful writers whose work has been produced professionally across the country.

NYU Tisch School of the Arts

The UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television (UCLA TFT), is one of the 11 schools within the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). It is located in Los Angeles, California. It's creation was groundbreaking in that it was the first time a leading university had combined all three (theatre, film, and television) of these aspects into a single administration.[1] The graduate programs are usually ranking within the top 3 nationally, according to the U.S. News & World Report. The film school is considered one of the best in the world[citation needed] and admission is extremely competitive. Among the school's resources are the Geffen Playhouse, and the UCLA Film and Television Archive, the largest university-based archive of its kind in the world. The Archive constitutes one of the largest collections of media materials in the United States - second only to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Its vaults hold more than 220,000 motion picture and television titles and 27 million feet of newsreel footage.
The School's total enrollment, in 2003, consisted of 310 students out of 3,688 applicants (8.4%).
With 140 faculty members teaching 410 undergrads, and 390 grad students, the student to teacher ratio is about 6:1.

Department of Theater

The different areas of theatre studies at UCLA's Department of Theater consist of: Acting Critical Studies Design Directing Musical Theater Playwriting Production Management / Technology Undergraduate program The undergraduate program requires an interview/audition process for all applicants. The program teaches the general studies of theater broadly, before allowing the student to study their specified area of study. Graduate program Offering a Master of Arts, Master of Fine Arts, and a Doctor of Philosophy degree, the graduate program requires an audition for all acting applicants, and a possible interview for the other applicants. Each applicant must apply for a specific area of study.

Department of Film, Television, and Digital Media

There are three distinct areas of courses offered in UCLA's Department of Film, Television, and Digital Media: Critical studies - the history, theory, and aesthetics of film and television Film and television production (study and field), digital, experimental, and animation Film and television craft-writing, film directing, television directing, photography, sound recording, and editing Undergraduate program A Bachelor of Arts in film and television degree can be sought after a student has completed two years of general college studies. This upper division program is another two years that involves the learning of the history and theory aspect of film and television, along with the basic learning of production. The first year of the program is a general introduction to all areas of the study. The second year, each student must concentrate on one of the following aspects: Film production (Directing) Producing Documentary Screenwriting Animation Digital Media Critical Studies Students must all complete one internship during their senior year. Graduate program Offering a Master of Arts, Master of Fine Arts, and a Doctor of Philosophy degree, the graduate program offers two main areas of study. A Master of Arts and a Doctor of Philosophy degree are available for critical studies. The Master of Fine Arts degree can be obtained with the choice of five specializations: Production/Directing (4 year program) Production/Cinematography (4 year program) Screenwriting (2 year program) Animation (3 year program) Producers Program (2 year program) Producers Program focuses on the production and business side of Film, Television, and Digital Media. Professional Programs The School also offers non-degree programs modeled after the world-renowned MFA curriculum. The UCLA Professional Programs [1] in Screenwriting and Producing are the only non-degree screenwriting and producing programs that have oversight by the UCLA School of Theatre, Film and Television, and the only viable alternatives to the UCLA MFA Screenwriting and Producing Programs. In the UCLA Professional Program in Screenwriting (offered both on campus and online) [2], students focus on the theory and craft of professional screenwriting, without having to take the critical studies seminars and related electives that are required to obtain a degree. The goal of this graduate-level program, which takes place over one academic year, is for the student to start and complete two original feature length screenplays. The UCLA Professional Program in Producing [3] is a 10-week summer program that provides an intensive overview of the contemporary film and television industries, and introduces students to the tools needed to navigate the studio and independent marketplace. The program consists of a series of lectures, discussions, and appearances by entertainment industry guests.
