The College of Motion Picture Arts is equipped with state-of-the-art motion picture facilities that are available to students 24 hours a day. In addition to the 5-to-1 student to faculty ratio, each student is paired with a faculty member as part of a mentorship program. This has helped more than 97% of the Film School’s graduates find work in the motion picture and television industry within 12 months of graduation.
These factors combined have helped our program reach a top 5 ranking among public universities. Graduates of the film school have worked on major motion pictures such as Iron Man 3, Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk, and most recently Green Book which won the Oscar for Best Picture among numerous other awards.
In 1989, the Florida State Legislature founded a flagship program in Tallahassee designed to prepare young filmmakers for successful careers in the entertainment industry.
Decades later, the presence of the Florida State University Film School can be seen throughout the industry, producing award-winning alumni, and acknowledged as “one of the world’s best” by The Hollywood Reporter.
The Film School offers a professional, career-oriented experience that creates a sense of community, not competition. As you work alongside peers and professors, you’ll gain valuable industry-standard skills and a story-first education to prepare for a future in film.
Students have access to a range of professional-grade equipment and facilities, including sound stages, mixing theaters, RED cameras, postproduction studios, and grip and camera trucks.
And the journey doesn’t end when you have your degree: Graduates have the opportunity to be assigned a mentor, who provides advice and support. This provides more than 92% of Film School graduates with meaningful work in the industry within 12 months of graduation.
Our goal is to create a level playing field so that each student’s creativity can flourish, regardless of financial background. FSU is the only motion picture college in the country that pays the production costs of every student’s motion picture. Along with this, the university offers scholarships, financial assistantships and tuition costs that are among the lowest in the country to give every student opportunity for success.
