FACILITIES

Universal Studios sprawls over 390 acres of offices, alleys, interior sound stages and outside movie sets.

Arrangements have been made with Universal Studios to shoot our in-class production exercises on their prestigious and widely-used backlot, a landscape literally made up of the neighborhoods of the world. Driving around the lot, one alternately happens across a dusty Mexican villa, an imposing Roman square, a New York alley straight from the 1930s and a street whose saloons and wooden sidewalks harken back to the Wild West. Nearby, one passes multiple lakes, an old New England street, and a Renaissance courtyard. New York Film Academy students will have the opportunity to direct on these same sets for their in-class exercises.

EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

The Los Angeles area boasts a myriad of cultural and recreational activities, ranging from film openings to fine restaurants to beach volleyball. The proximity of Universal Studios to the rest of the city makes it a perfect starting point to explore the city. Many of the country's most beautiful beaches are located within driving distance.

NOTICE CONCERNING TRANSFERABILITY OF UNITS

The New York Film Academy at Universal Studios does not accept transfer credits from any other academic postsecondary institutions nor does it consider prior experiential learning for application toward any degree or non-degree course of study. As there are no areas of specialization or individual tracks of study within any workshop or program offered by NYFA, all students must follow a progressive course of study beginning at the New York Film Academy. One-Year students and students in the Master of Fine Arts in Filmmaking Degree Program may, however, transfer between other New York Film Academy campus locations at their respective semester breaks. The New York Film Academy makes no representation whatsoever that credits earned in the Master of Fine Arts in Filmmaking Degree Program or any non-degree program or workshop operated by the New York Film Academy will be accepted or applied toward the completion of any degree or certificate by any other postsecondary institution. The acceptance of transfer credits is always governed by the receiving school.
