Currently in my junior year and obsessed with all things film. I’m trying to find an HBCU with a good film major that offers hands-on experience, industry contacts, and solid storytelling courses. Has anyone studied film at an HBCU here who can share their experiences or maybe offer some advice?
Hey there! Howard University's ranking among HBCUs is consistently high, and their film program doesn't disappoint. They offer a comprehensive curriculum that covers various aspects of filmmaking, as well as hands-on projects that really allow students to dive in and get creative. Also, being in Washington, D.C. provides a unique backdrop for story inspiration and industry contacts.
Students often speak highly of the faculties' industry experience and the mentorship they offer. I think visiting the campuses could be a great way to get a feel for the programs. And don’t hesitate to reach out to the admissions office to connect you with a current film major who can share their insights. Hope this helps, and all the best in finding a program that fits your passion for film!
