No where else in the world can you find the range of disciplines in one school. Over the last 50 years as we forged new programs, built our home in New York and expanded to our global academic centers, institutes emerged. Each are built with shared values, common goals, and a priority for putting students first. The result – a place where artists and scholars create the future.
The Department of Design for Stage and Film at NYU/Tisch School of the Arts is a diverse community of theater and film artists. Our 3 year MFA (Graduate) program educates future generations of theater and film designers who, like our faculty and alumni before them, will have a profound impact on the arts through their design work.
As theater and film artists, we are storytellers, and we teach our students to tell stories through meticulous research, the disciplined practice of craft, deep dramaturgical exploration of text, unimpeded creativity, and profound respect for the cultures and identities of the stories and characters we explore.
Students in our three-year Master of Fine Arts degree program benefit from the knowledge and professional practice of a faculty comprising some of the top theater and film professionals in the world, close proximity to every type of performing and media art imaginable, and all of the advantages of living and studying in New York City, a unique global center for the arts. Full and partial tuition scholarships (both need and merit-based) available to all students.
