The USC School of Cinema-Television offers undergraduate and graduate-level courses in production, critical studies, producing, interactive media, animation and digital arts, writing for screen and television. The school educates students in the aesthetic and technical values of the medium through course work, production activities and research.

All members of the full-time cinema-television faculty have been or are working professionals in their respective fields; most have years of full-time professional experience. Each year a number of adjunct faculty from the Los Angeles film and television industries participate in all programs.

Students at the USC School of Cinema-Television produce over 234 hours of motion pictures each year and complete more than 100 full-length screenplays. USC films made by students receive numerous awards annually from festivals around the world. USC cinema-television alumni are among the most successful filmmakers and scholars working today. Since 1965, there have been only two years when no members of the Trojan Family were nominated for Academy Awards for their work in film.

The Cinema-Television Library offers a comprehensive collection of books in English and substantial holdings in other languages. The vast collection of journals, unpublished screenplays and manuscript materials includes personal papers of industry figures from the silent years to the present and studio records from Warner Bros., MGM, Universal and other production companies. The study center also provides student access to the school’s large collection of film and television materials in all film and video formats as well as several thousand recent screenplays.
