Fall and Spring Curriculum
Your required 12-credit Los Angeles academic experience is built around registering for an 18-to-30-hour entertainment industry practicum (1-3 credits); a vast array of LA-based course offerings (3 credits each); five-week master seminars (1 credit each); and online Arts and Sciences classes.
International students: Non-immigrant visa regulations require that F-1 students and J-1 exchange visitors be registered as full-time students in the fall and spring semesters. Students are limited to one online class if they are registered for a total of 12 credits or two online classes if they register for a total of 15 or more credits. All other credits must be earned through LA-based courses.
