Applicants with no previous screenwriting experience may be required to complete a basic screenwriting course prior to full acceptance into the program.

The departmental application deadline for fall is March 31. We no longer accept spring admissions. These deadlines are intended to ensure the university has time to process application materials, and students have time to pursue financial aid and register for classes. Special late application circumstances will be considered on a case by case basis.
