Overview:
The mission of the undergraduate film and television department is to educate our students in the art, craft, and technology of film, television video, animation and sound production. Our program offers intensive hands-on production experience coupled with a broad exposure to the liberal arts. We nurture individual talent and skills, and encourage students to become creative, and thoughtful practitioners in the world of media.
Registration:
Students are encouraged to pursue Film/TV courses specially designated for non-majors here first:
http://specialprograms.tisch.nyu.edu/object/xregfilm.html
All other courses are open to out-of-department students only after all Tisch Film & TV majors have registered for courses. If spots are open after priority registration, non-majors my take courses in the department. In general, courses are open to non-majors only after the first day of the semester’s classes. Any Tisch Film & TV major on any waiting list has priority over non-majors.
Students hoping to be considered for a spot in any Film & TV course should pick up a “Film & TV Permission Form” (the yellow one) from the large Forms Kiosk outside Room 901 in the 721 Broadway building. The department will honor the course requests in the order they receive them, so it is worthwhile to plan ahead.
At the end of the first week of classes, Gallatin students who have not been contacted by the UG Film & TV department are encouraged to return to 721 Broadway, Room 901, to find out if any spots have opened up in the class.
Special Information:
All Undergraduate Film & TV Fundamentals courses are particularly difficult to get into during the academic year. The department encourages out-of-department students to take these courses over the summer. The course names may vary during the summer sessions, but the material covered is the same.
Out-of-department students may occasionally enter an intermediate or advanced level course with the specific permission of the instructor teaching the course. Students may bypass course prerequisites only by permission of the instructor teaching the course.
Important: Please note that all out-of-department students are charged service fees when they register for any class in Department of Film & TV. These fees are non-refundable. (Please refer to the back of the "Film & TV Permission Form" for a list of fees).
