Program Description:

The Master of Arts (MA) in Film and Television Production at Sacred Heart University is a graduate conservatory devoted to cinematic storytelling and hands-on production.

FTMA students shoot their films using the latest digital technologies, equipment, software, and state of the art facilities. This program is designed to be completed in 1 year.

Students in the FTMA program learn by doing in hands-on workshops taught by established film and television scholars and industry professionals. FTMA students will graduate with a creative body work -- completed film and television projects that serve as a digital portfolio of professional artifacts in his/her area of concentration (directing, producing, and screenwriting).
