Why Study Online at NYFA
NYFA now offers a range of immersive “Hands-Online” programs.
These degree programs and short-term workshops are active creative learning experiences where you will participate, from home, in every class, interact with your teacher and classmates, and create original work. Each program includes live interactive instruction, group meetings, and additional one-on-one consultations with the instructor.

Technical Recommendations
To attend any of our online programs, we recommend that all students have a reliable computer, external hard drive, strong internet connection and a quiet place to work. As students in our classes work with large files and software that may require minimum technical specifications, we ask that all incoming students review the recommended specs for their specific program.
For film or photography classes, students must provide their own digital camera or smartphone with camera, as well as DaVinci Resolve.
