Los Angeles Media and Film Studies

Overview

Nowhere else oozes such allure for Media and Film Studies students as the entertainment capital of the world!

LA is home to some of the world's biggest film studios: Sony Pictures, Paramount, Warner Bros. and Universal.  A behind-the-scenes guided tour of these real working studios always inspires students as they learn how some of the most famous films of all time were produced.

Walking in global stars' footsteps on the Hollywood Boulevard, a stroll along Venice Beach, and a visit to the Griffith Observatory to see the world-famous Hollywood sign are just some of the other visits that make a trip to LA such a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
