Based at the state-of-the-art Martin Scorsese Virtual Production Center at Industry City, the one-year advanced degree program debuts in the Fall of 2024.

NYU Tisch School of the Arts announces the opening of applications for its new Master’s of Professional Studies degree in Virtual Production, a one-year, intensive course of study that blends cutting edge technology, science, and creativity to advance the art of storytelling.

The new program will be based at NYU’s Martin Scorsese Virtual Production Center at Industry City.

The center will have two double-height, column free stages, two television studios, and state-of-the-art broadcast control rooms.

The new degree and facility will further establish Tisch as a global leader in cinematic arts.

"Tisch is excited to be a pioneer in training students on groundbreaking technology that is transforming the film and television industry.
