All great films and TV shows begin with stories served by the written word—and our screenwriting program provides a top-notch education in how to write them. A foundation in the liberal arts will deepen your knowledge of subjects you want to write about, while screenwriting courses demonstrate how character, plot, and theme come together in scripts that serve as blueprints for bringing stories to life on screens large and small. You’ll work closely with supportive faculty and peers as you learn to write stories that entertain, enlighten, and inspire audiences. A solid foundation in the liberal arts develops your capacity to communicate to audiences while working on more specific coursework that delves deeper into their imaginations and personal lives to come up with stories that will entertain, amuse, uplift, and challenge audiences.
