“Better than any class I had while getting my MFA.”
That’s what one student had to say about the UCLA Professional Program in Screenwriting, the only non-degree screenwriting program that has oversight by the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, and the only viable alternative to the UCLA MFA Screenwriting Program. In the Professional Program, students focus on the theory and craft of professional screenwriting, without having to take the critical studies seminars and related electives that are required to obtain a degree. The goal of this graduate-level program, which takes place over three academic quarters, is for the student to start and complete two original feature length screenplays. Upon successfully finishing the UCLA Professional Program in Screenwriting, students receive a certificate of completion.

Because so few applicants are accepted into the MFA Screenwriting Program each year, the UCLA Professional Program in Screenwriting was created to bring a greater number of promising screenwriters to UCLA. This is the perfect way to get a respected UCLA screenwriting education, to receive honest feedback on your screenplays, and to work under a regimen that will allow you to come away with two completed feature-length screenplays in only one academic year – all while keeping your day job.
Alumni of the UCLA Professional Program in Screenwriting have sold material to Paramount, MGM, New Line, Disney, 20th Century Fox, Nickelodeon, Regency, Miramax, Sony, Warner Bros, and more!
