Hussian College (formerly Studio School) prides itself on academic and professional excellence, with an unrelenting commitment to prepare students for service in their communities, and career. Not only is the college on a working studio lot, surrounded by professional productions, but the faculty and program chairs are also experienced, working professionals. It's not uncommon to see your teacher in class one day, and on a television show the next.
Welcome to Hussian College, the first school of its kind created with a motion picture studio; developed with Hollywood executives, directors, screenwriters, agents, casting directors, producers, actors, dancers, and other professionals focused on the art and business of storytelling in the twenty-first century.
It’s a thrilling time to pursue a career in media and entertainment because the future of content distribution is a wide-open playing field. Even the biggest industry players of past decades are carefully navigating their future in the digital era, relying on young talent to lead the way. The playbook for success has changed in entertainment and we want our students trained to win. Virtual reality, augmented reality, live streaming, mobile devices, and social media platforms are revolutionizing content consumption. Hussian College students are trained to embrace this and be brave entrepreneurs, develop relevant skills, tell cogent stories, and create stunning original content in the face of this opportunity.
Our campus is situated on a working studio lot at LA Center Studios, where TV, digital,
and feature film production is a standard part of the daily experience. In this
environment, our students are inspired to excellence under the mentorship of working
professionals.
Our students are tasked with creating a steady flow of original content while applying
best-production practices throughout our project-based curriculum. Cross-disciplinary
collaboration is a unique feature of our education, and the source of stunning inspiration
and high production-values in our work.
Choosing the right school is not easy. You are invited to visit us in Los Angeles to
experience our campus to meet our dedicated staff and faculty. We are here to help you
and to answer your questions.
