The Semester in Los Angeles Program is available each semester throughout the year: fall, spring or summer, and is housed in The University of Texas at Austin’s West Coast hub, the UTLA Center.
Courses focus on the business and creative sides of the entertainment industry and are taught by seasoned professionals (many of them UT alumni), with extensive careers in film, television and music. Classes are complemented by visits from guest speakers and set visits to some of the major Hollywood studios (activities vary by semester).
A key component of the program is the internship course, which allows students to earn academic credit and explore professional careers in their area of interest.
The program is open to all eligible students for a limited number of seats each semester.
