Option I: Bachelor's Degree at an Affiliated University

The New York Film Academy is working with a growing number of universities to allow students to earn bachelor's degrees in conjunction with courses taken at the New York Film Academy. Currently there are arrangements of this kind in place that are described below:

Option II: Transfer of Credit to a bachelor's degree program

Credits earned in any of our film school programs may be submitted to any college or university in the United States for transfer credit. All Transcripts and college credits are processed and issued solely by the New York Film Academy’s academic headquarters at Universal Studios, California. No additional per credit fee is required.

Every university has its own credit transfer policy. New York Film Academy cannot guarantee that credits earned will be accepted. If possible, students should request the credit transfer policy from their school of choice before the transfer process commences. You may consult the credit table below for an idea of how many credits may be transferred.

All of the programs at the New York Film Academy are accredited for a specific number of credits (please click here to see credit table). For example, the One-Year Filmmaking Program is a 39-credit course, which amounts to more than a year of study at any university. The one year program has a rolling admissions policy and is offered starting four times a year.
