25. California State University Northridge (tie)
NORTHRIDGE, CALIFORNIA
The L.A.-area school charges one-tenth the tuition of other film programs. While it may not have the donor base of other programs, the school’s facilities include high-tech amenities like a LED wall that will help with the virtual production that has started being incorporated into the curriculum. And as Hollywood seeks to diversify, it’s important to note that it is a Hispanic Serving Institution, meaning 25 percent or more of its student body identifies as Hispanic or Latino. Film producer and IFTA chair Clay Epstein lauds Northridge’s “diversity of the student body and focus on a practical skill set.” New additions on the horizon include a master’s degree in Entertainment Media Management, where students will be graduating with the training for studio executive ranks.
TUITION $7,064 (undergrad); $8,498 (graduate)
