|
The University of Southern California's School of Cinema-Television is the oldest film school in the United States, established in 1929 as a joint venture with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Notable professors include Drew Casper, the Alma and Alfred Hitchcock Professor of American Film, Tomlinson Holman, inventor of THX, and Mark Jonathan Harris, documentary filmmaker.
Also, it is famous for turning down Steven Spielberg's application for undergraduate studies. Ironically, he is now on the school's board of directors.
The program is one of the most competitive specialty schools, accepting 150 out of roughly 14,000 undergraduate applicants each year.
Since 1973, not a year has passed without an alumnus being nominated for an Academy Award.
