USC School of Cinematic Arts
The School of Cinematic Arts teaching philosophy is built on the understanding
that people learn best by doing. Additionally, we believe that great ideas arise
when theory and practice are in constant interaction, propelling one another
forward.
To this end, students work directly with professors who are leaders in the
industry and academia. Coming with a broad array of professional skills, many
of these women and men have won the top accolades of the art form, including
Oscars, Emmys, the Palme d’Or, the Pulitzer Prize, and the Humanitas Prize, to
mention but a few.
Another integral component of the SCA approach is for students, regardless of
their chosen area of specialization, to take a wide range of courses from across
the disciplines. Through this process critical studies majors get behind the camera
to make short films, writers direct actors to learn how to craft the best scripts,
and directors immerse themselves in the canon of work made by the generations
who came before.
The majority of the SCA classes take place in an atelier-like environment, with
small groups of undergraduates and graduates paired up with instructors,
researchers and teaching assistants. In addition to offering hands-on experience
with the latest technologies, working side-by-side also promotes a greater
sense of collaboration between the students and instructors. By encouraging a
free flow of knowledge and ideas, both student and teacher alike are inspired
to draw from each other’s experiences and input, resulting in novel, cutting-
edge film, television and interactive works.

our PHILosoPHYPREPARING LEADERS THROUGH HANDS-ON, COLLABORATIVE EXPERIENCE
When the University of Southern California included “Appreciation of the Photoplay”as part of its curriculum in 1929, USC leaders declared “Photoplay should beconsidered in any serious historical and scientific study of arts and sociology.”
Composed of six divisions and two Organized Research Units, the School of Cinematic Arts gives students
comprehensive exposure to all facets of film, television and interactive media production. This interdisciplinary
approach infuses undergraduates and graduates with a rich sense of possibility, inspiring them to push their
creative pursuits in directions they might not previously have considered. Additionally, exposure to elements
beyond their chosen areas of specialization also gives these men and women a deep understanding of how
their individual efforts are part of a much larger collaboration.

our PHILosoPHYPREPARING LEADERS THROUGH HANDS-ON, COLLABORATIVE EXPERIENCE
Ever since the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences and the University of Southern California
teamed up in 1929 to establish the nation’s first
university-based film studies program, USC has set
the pace for film theory and practice.
Over the course of its history, the program has
sought not merely to meet the needs of the
industry and art form, but to anticipate them
and play an active role in shaping the direction of
the field.
Throughout the 20th century and now into the 21st,
the school has established a long and venerated

The School of Cinematic Arts has long recognized the importance of diversity in
creating a vibrant art form and industry. Each year our six divisions attract dozens
of students from regions as disparate as Asia, the Americas, Europe, Africa and
Oceania. Through collaborations with individual, corporate, and non-profit partners,
the school seeks to help women and men from diverse backgrounds prepare for
careers throughout the entertainment arts.
Among these partners and initiatives are:
• Bill and Camille Cosby—underwriters of the workshop series for aspiring
African-American screenwriters, and supporters of the Bill Cosby Summer Youth
Institute for Film & Television, an eight-week summer program for local high school
students enrolled in USC’s Neighborhood Academic Initiative.
• Creative Artists Agency—funds annual scholarships to provide opportunities for
under-represented groups in the entertainment industry.

By the very nature of how they are created, the
cinematic arts are a highly collaborative effort,
with the success of an individual project directly tied
to the shared vision, determination and skills of the
teams behind them.
Located in the heart of Los Angeles, the School
of Cinematic Arts is uniquely positioned—both
geographically and programmatically—to capitalize
on this sense of community.
On any given day, top directors, actors, producers,
animators, writers, agents, scholars and others come
to campus to share their wisdom and experience with
the men and women who seek to follow in their
footsteps.
Likewise, leaders from across the film, television and
interactive realms help guide the school through
their participation on the SCA Board of Councilors
Council and the Alumni Development Council.
Numbering over 10,000 strong, our alumni form a
close-knit community both in Los Angeles and around
the globe. The bonds these women and men form
with their classmates often last a lifetime, and they
actively support new members of the Trojan family.
The school has also been proactive in assisting them,
through the creation of alumni job boards, career
seminar series, and networking events.
SCA is also actively engaged in building community
through numerous neighborhood outreach programs
to nurture members of the younger generations to
explore how the cinematic arts can profoundly alter
their futures.

Through their vision and generosity, individuals
and corporations alike have been integral in
enabling the School of Cinematic Arts to provide its
students with leading-edge facilities and technical
resources.
This assistance has fueled the development of the
school’s capital infrastructure, including instructional
buildings, soundstages, theaters, music scoring
stages, a digital arts center, and interactive research
laboratories. Donations for equipment have also
enabled us to outfit these complexes with industry-
standard production and post-production hardware
and software systems.
In supporting the school, individuals and companies
are making a direct investment in the future of
thousands of women and men, who leave SCA with
the technical and creative knowledge and experience
needed to propel the future of film, television and
interactive media to new heights.
Beyond direct support, named gifts also serve as a
source of inspiration and a permanent reminder
to the artists and scholars who will study at this
institution for generations to come. Day in and
day out, these students will gain their expertise in
facilities that bear the names of the individuals
and organizations who played leading roles in
developing the cinematic arts.

our aLLIancesCREATING A STATE-OF-THE-ART LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THROUGH DYNAMIC PARTNERSHIPS
Years of cinematic memories give way to new buildings and films duringdemolition of the old “stables” in 1982.
Dedicated in 2001, the Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts opened asthe countryʼs first and only fully digital filmmaking training facility.
On October 4, 2006, filmmaker George Lucas did more than
make history through the Lucasfilm Foundation’s $175 million
gift to the School of Cinematic Arts. He also set forth a bold
challenge to the community at large to support the school
today and ensure the future of the art form for generations
to come.
That challenge plays out on two vital fronts:
facilities construction and endowment.
Of the total gift, $75 million has been dedicated to erecting the
the new Cinematic Arts Complex. Beyond this generous initial
gift, and the $50 million given by other friends of the school,
the entire complex will require an additional $50 million to
finish. This funding will allow for a number of infrastructure
initiatives, including structures for Animation & Digital Arts,
production services, and soundstages.
The second part of the Lucas donation, pledged at $100 million,
is dedicated to endowment. Such funds are vital to securing
the long-term viability of any institution. In 1991 the school's
endowment stood at some $6 million. Since then, Cinematic
Arts supporters have generously contributed to this initiative,
raising our balances to $47 million in received funds, with
another $113 million in pledges. Together, that $160 million
puts the school over three quarters of the way toward achieving
its $200 million endowment goal. Through prudent
management, the annual yield from this fund profoundly
impacts the school on multiple fronts. Students enjoy enhanced
academic and production support; faculty and staff have been
bolstered; facilities, equipment, and technology are kept at
top-notch; and alumni receive guidance and support as they
transition from their academic to career pursuits.
The success of any cinematic arts endeavor—film, television,
and interactive—stems not from the acts of a single person,
but rather through the contributions of the greater community.
In making their gifts to USC, supporters have set the school
firmly on its course and created an incredible opportunity for
others to be part of this extraordinary institution in the 21st
century and beyond.

Recognized nationally and internationally as a superb environment for the study and practice of
film, television, and interactive media, the School of Cinematic Arts draws thousands of students,
alumni, industry professionals, academics and other visitors to Los Angeles each year.
2009 marked the opening of the first part of the Cinematic Arts Complex, comprised of the
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg buildings. These two main buildings rise above a sweeping
courtyard named in honor of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which partnered
with the university in 1929 to begin the USC cinema program.
On the lower level of both buildings is the post-production area, including sound dubbing stages,
editorial labs and classrooms, and ADR and Foley stages. The first floor of the complex features a
grand 200-seat theatre, as well as two digital theatres and a combination screening room/sound
dub stage. Both the Lucas and Spielberg buildings have large open lobby areas named for cinema
greats, Mary Pickford and Harold Lloyd, respectively.
Level two of the complex houses the Interactive Media Division, the offices for the Summer Program
and Student-Industry Relations, and features two screening rooms, five classrooms, a graduate
student lounge and numerous rooms for student group meetings. Offices for the Production,
Critical Studies, and Writing divisions, as well as the Peter Stark program, are all housed on the
third level. Two more screening rooms are on the third floor, along with several informal
gathering areas for students and faculty. The office of the dean, as well as production faculty
and external relations, can be found on the fourth floor.
The rest of the complex is comprised of the Student Services and Animation & Digital Arts building,
the Production Services building and two additional structures with two studio-sized soundstages
in each. The construction and utilization of these new spaces, combined with our existing facilities,
ensure that the School of Cinematic Arts will continue to build on its foundation as the finest
educational institution devoted to the art of storytelling.
our FacILItIesSTATE-OF-THE-ART COMPLEX SETS THE PACE FOR FILM, TELEVISION, AND INTERACTIVE MEDIA STUDIES
Since its beginning, the School of Cinematic Arts has been looking to the future, alwaysexpanding its facilities, classes, divisions and staff. At the same time, we incorporatethe latest technologies, theories and ideas to encourage new projects that willentertain, insipire and educate for generations to come.
