CSUN has ambitions for its Department of Cinema & Television Arts. It has added a new, fully online grad program in entertainment management; started a documentary program and mentor- ship program for underserved screenwriting students; and is creating an advisory board for its Entertainment Industry Institute to build better pathways for internships and postgraduate employment. On the facilities side, it just added a large virtual production LED wall (thanks to a generous donation from ROE Visuals). All that, combined with its location (just 25 miles from the Hollywood sign) and its affordable tuition (in-state is just $7K for undergrads, $8.4K for grads), make CSUN an excellent option for many.
