In the School of Film, we believe that the only way to make students into good editors is to give them as much access to the practice as possible. There is rarely a time when a student cannot access an editing suite.  Our post-production wing is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We sincerely believe in our students leaving with an MFA encompassing the practical skills vital to surviving and thriving in the real world as well as focusing on the creative process as artists.

Students in the School of Film will learn to master the Avid Media Composer as they complete their individual projects.  We train and support students in the Avid editing environment because it is one of the most widely used editing systems in the professional film world. Final Cut Pro training and support is also widely available through the University.
