A cinematography class in the film program

The College of Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) was listed as a “School on the Move” in Variety’s April 26 issue, which includes a feature on entertainment education. According to Variety, the “Schools on the Move” list recognizes those institutions that offer “competitive, top-notch training in all areas of film, TV and media.”

Variety specifically noted VPA’s film program, which combines a rigorous curriculum with numerous opportunities for global study in such cities as Los Angeles (via Syracuse University’s LA Semester or VPA’s Sorkin in L.A. Learning Practicum); Prague, Czech Republic; and Bologna, Italy.

VPA offers both bachelor of fine arts and master of fine arts degree programs in film through its Department of Transmedia. To learn more, visit http://vpa.syr.edu/transmedia.
