One of the best sources for college information is the World Wide Web. Most schools post information there about their film programs--including faculty, courses, facilities, tuition, etc. SCREENsite has organized this information into a list of college film/TV programs: http://www.sa.ua.edu/SCREENsite But to reply more directly to your question, the top schools for MA/PhD's in film (that is, not film *making*, but film history/theory/criticism) would include: USC, UCLA, NYU, Northwestern, Iowa, Wisconsin Regards, ---- Jeremy Butler mailto:[log in to unmask] SCREENsite: http://www.sa.ua.edu/SCREENsite/ Telecommunication and Film/University of Alabama/Tuscaloosa ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
