best university for film/television production?
The following colleges are highly rated by US News and World Report’s college survey for film majors, are rated as "extremely selective" with small class sizes (15:1 or below student-teacher ratio) and offer professional internship programs. I thought that might be three relevant criteria for your question.
George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola graduated from USC Film School, so it’s considered extremely prestigious, while Steven Spielberg was turned down for admission(!). Instead Spielberg studied English at California State University at Long Beach, then moved into film. His biography at the URL below is enlightening if you are considering becoming a director. I think the key to success in the film industry is CONTACTS so that’s why people flock to LA. Take a look and good luck!
