Dual-degree graduate program for aspiring film producers and individuals...
Bridging the gap between the “creatives" and the “suits,"
New York University has created a dual-degree graduate program that gives aspiring
film producers and individuals who want to be entertainment industry executives
the knowledge to navigate the fast-changing landscape of financing and filmmaking
today. The joint MBA/MFA degree is a partnership of two world-class programs,
NYU’s Stern School of Business and Kanbar Institute of Film & Television
at the Tisch School of the Arts.
The MBA/MFA degree is a three-year program that enables students to pursue
both degrees simultaneously. It attracts the very best producing candidates
by focusing on both the creative and business sides of film. Designed to be
the most comprehensive of its kind, using the top faculty and resources of each
school, the dual-degree program produces highly employable individuals sought
by the major film studios, independent production companies, and the major television
studios and networks.
The curriculum is rigorous and demanding. It provides all the traditional MBA
skills, plus courses dealing with the business side of the entertainment industry
and a full MFA curriculum in filmmaking. Students must be accepted by both schools
and spend about half their time taking courses at each. In addition, students
become highly involved in film projects and most find time for internships sometime
during their program. Our overall goal is to prepare the next generation of
industry leaders who understand the complexity of the business and at the same
time understand what it takes to make great films.
