Film Editing Schools Critique-Chapman University

Chapman University offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees in film study. They are as follows:

B.A., Film Studies, Public Relations and Advertising, Screenwriting
B.F.A., Film Production, Television and Broadcast Journalism
M.A., Film Studies
M.F.A., Screenwriting, Film and Television Producing, Film Production (with specializations in directing, editing, cinematography, production design and sound design)

Chapman is located in Orange, CA, just south of L.A. They boast of a new film studio to open in the fall of 2006 equipped with the latest technology.

Perhaps a downside to this film editing school is that they are extremely selective of applicants and claim to only select 1 in 4 students. Always keep in mind though, that film editing schools, and all colleges and universities for that matter, are businesses and those businesses do not make money without students enrolled and paying tuition.

A positive for this school is that they offer quality internships. Internships are highly valued while attending any film editing school. Internships offer you the chance to make contacts and to make a good impression on people that may be able to hire you once you graduate from film editing school.

A new student can expect to pay about $14,900 for 12-18 credit hours in a single semester. Do not forget that many film editing schools often add on "fees" such as lab fees, application fees, orientation fees, etc.

Check out Chapman for yourself and see if you think this film school would be a good match for you and your situation. Do keep in mind that they are very proud of their new studio that will open this coming fall.
