Find your unique voice. Tap into your imagination. Come up with great ideas. Take your writing skills to a new level.

Writers create television. There are more than 15,000 television channels worldwide, each of them needing content producers. Most shows are written by a staff of writers, so there are multiple opportunities available on each show. The production of original series has broadened even beyond traditional networks and cable channels as distribution platforms like Netflix and Amazon are venturing into content production, and with great success. This trend will continue, as will the trend in advertising for story-based content that resembles short films more than traditional ads. Additionally, entertainment content is in high demand for mobile devices.

The demand for content production for cable television, the web, and mobile devices is growing exponentially worldwide. Film and television writing jobs are highly competitive and to break into the industry, students need a portfolio of professional, imaginative and current material. While there are a growing but finite number of writing jobs, Academy of Art University believes we can train candidates who are better equipped to enter the industry than the competition. Our writing program will cross-train in film, television and digital media in order to maximize preparedness in seeking writing opportunities and professional representation.

If you’re an aspiring film or television writer, then join us for a rigorous and rewarding writing experience.

Exercise your imagination. Brainstorm your ideas. Take the journey. Find your voice.

BE ARTIST. BE ATHLETE. Academy of Art University is the only four-year art school with membership in the NCAA.

Our athletic program shatters stereotypes of artists and jocks because our athletes are artists. Bold expression, focused intention and unbridled passion are the marks not only of a great artist, but also a top athlete.

Introducing the concept of competitive “artist-athletes” in 2008, the Urban Knights secured full-fledged NCAA Division II status in 2012 and continue to support 16 intercollegiate sports which make Academy of Art more than just one of the top art schools.

In addition to competitive sports, Academy of Art University has a Recreational Sports and Fitness Department. Artists often forget that their body is an instrument to creating their masterpieces. Nutritional classes and intramural teams help achieve awareness of the body and channel creative energy for a lasting career in the arts.
