Earn a master’s degree at the Martin Scorsese Virtual Production Center

NYU Tisch School of the Arts is offering a 36-credit Master of Professional Studies (MPS) degree in Virtual Production. Students learn at the Martin Scorsese Virtual Production Center located in Industry City, Brooklyn. This rigorous 9 month (September-May), full-time program will provide students an immersive, hands-on education in the emerging field of storytelling through Virtual Production. 

The curriculum includes classwork, on-set production training, creative collaboration, expanding hard and soft skillsets such as set-etiquette, AI tools, internship and research opportunities. Learn alongside a community of self-directed students including artists, creative technologists and working professionals (writers, directors, designers, producers, cinematographers, technical directors) seeking an immersive academic experience.

In the Fall, students will focus on the story, design, directing, and producing strategies through the completion of pre-vis for their group master's thesis projects, while learning the technical workflow of Virtual Production in our computer lab and on set in our volume. During the Spring Semester, students will collaborate to complete their group thesis projects. It requires research, innovation, and a solid practice in technology and creativity to develop a successful virtual production - master both the science and the art at Tisch.
