Program in Television and Film
The Associate and Bachelor of Science degrees in television and film studies are designed to offer students considerable flexibility. Students can explore both television and film and the industries of advertising, media graphics, film, journalism, public relations, publishing, television or video production. Students also take courses in hands-on production, media writing, industry organization and procedures, media history and aesthetics.
The industry values professionals with strong business skills, so the program stresses courses in management, marketing and business administration.

Students studying at the NYFA can now continue their degree at St. John’s University through the articulation agreement with the Film School. This agreement ensures that credits earned during NYFA’s one-year filmmaking program will be acknowledged by St. John’s College of Professional Studies. Television and film students now have the opportunity to study at one of America’s leading Catholic institutions as well as one of the “most prominent fixtures of film education in the world.”

The service professions are among today’s fastest growing fields. In fact, employers in every field seek professionals who possess the knowledge and skills for which the service professions are known. Whether they recruit for social work or law enforcement, government or education, employers want managers and staff with the interpersonal skills and understanding of human dynamics crucial to every organization’s success. You can prepare for the service professions and related fields through the Bachelor of Science degree program in Human Services at St. John’s University.
