USC School of Cinematic Arts

There are three reasons that I am interested in the USC School of Cinematic Arts (SCA) Graduate Program. Firstly, the Film & Television Production MFA program at USC is one of the greatest graduation program providing its graduates with the best equipment, best professors, and best networking opportunities. Studying at SCA, students could work with faculty who are famous actors, producers, directors, media makers, and scholars whose careers and work have awarded the highest honors of their field:

productions have one thing in common they were all produced by University of Southern California alumni. The Trojans as they like to call each other, pride themselves in their world-class dramatic arts and film schools. From humble beginnings, USC's theatre and film departments have grown to become the best arts programs in the world. In 1870, Los Angeles was just a small frontier town of 11,000 people. With no roads, electricity, nor a fire system, the city was home to nothing but settlers trying to

There are over one thousand colleges in the U.S, but the University of Southern California is the college to attend for various reasons. USC is a well rounded school that provides a variety of clubs, activities, scholarship opportunities, and academic classes. The faculty and staff of the University of Southern California work hard to make each student that attends successful and well-prepared for the working environment in the near future. The University of Southern California began to develop

My tour guide was a Dramatic Arts BA student himself, and he seemed to be no less involved than would a BFA student. I admire the level of commitment of BFA applicants and respect that BFA and BA students likely have differing educational goals, but I greatly appreciate the similar treatment of both aside from a few BFA-only productions and some class separation. I love acting, but I am also interested in other aspects of the dramatic arts, and theatre is not my only passion. My favorite

1 The USC Caruso Catholic Center is a place of service, spirit, and intellect. Please describe how you have lived out these core values in your high school and parish/community life. I have lived out the core values of service, spirit, and intellect through placing focus on my greater education.

A decade ago, the first of the Marvel Cinematic Universe – Iron Man – was released. Since then, Marvel has produced several films and TV series. Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Spider-Man are some examples. If anyone has been up-to-date with Marvel Cinematic Universe, then it’s not so difficult for him or her to figure out that all protagonists and most supporting roles have been of Western ethnicity, or played by white actors/actresses. Until recently, it was essentially
