The Writing/Directing program is designed to provide students with the storytelling skills that are essential to media content creation.

Writing/Directing majors focus on scriptwriting, preproduction, eliciting actor performances, production with crews, and postproduction. Students should graduate from our rigorous program with a completed teleplay, feature screenplay, and a reel of professional quality videos, ready to work in the creative economy sector in broadcast, feature film, webcast, or any of the evolving media creation formats.
