The Barry R. Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema offers a master of arts degree in screen studies. The two-year, 36-credit program provides a comprehensive education in cinema and screen history, theory, criticism, and aesthetics, encompassing the scholarly exploration of motion pictures as a form of art and a means of social communication.
The program may be pursued on either a full-time in 2 years basis or a part-time basis. Because the degree program is housed in the same facility as the M.F.A. in Cinema Arts (the Steiner Studios at the Brooklyn Navy Yard), students are able to deepen their knowledge within the context of a larger community of filmmaker and cinema scholars. This program's interrelationship with the M.F.A. program is truly unique.
