The new programs include Bachelor of Science degrees in Game Production & Design, Animation & Visual Effects, and Entertainment Business.

Each discipline offers career-focused and accredited 36-month curricula designed to provide students with the knowledge, hands-on experience, and industry connections necessary to succeed in the rapidly changing landscape of the entertainment business.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Game Production & Design teaches students the programming, production and design techniques that are revolutionizing the industry today. Similarly, the Bachelor of Science degree program Animation & Visual Effects is designed to teach students the art, techniques, processes, and technology that animators use in professional environments. With fundamental training in management, leadership, marketing, accounting, licensing, intellectual property, digital distribution, and more, the Entertainment Business Bachelor of Science degree is focused on entrepreneurial leadership and the overall ability to perceive the 'big picture.'

Instead of working in traditional classroom settings, students collaborate in professional, project-based environments designed to recreate real-world challenges.

"[These] programs really can shape the students' vision of what the entertainment business is really all about, and that includes viewing the universe from a humanities perspective," said Hal Lieberman, Film Producer and current Director for the Entertainment Business program at The Los Angeles Film School. "That combination of the heart and mind will give us great graduates ready to take on the industry."

The Bachelor of Science degree programs in Animation & VFX and Game Production & Design build on The Los Angeles Film School's Associate's degree programs in Game Production and Animation.
