Studio School is the first and only school of its kind created in a Hollywood studio.
Founded in 1946, HUSSIAN COLLEGE has developed a reputation for its exceptional Commercial Arts programs while continuing to grow and achieve professional recognition. In 2012, a Hussian team set forth to further its mission of inspiring creativity in art, education, professional endeavors, and in life through collegiate-level education. As we sit in the midst of rapid technological shifts around visual and media art, artists have new opportunities to collaborate, innovate and become successful entrepreneurs. Studio School is a branch campus of Hussian College and offers BFA degree programs with the sponsorship of Relativity Media.
Campus Mission
We seek to shape the entertainment professionals of tomorrow by fostering an educational experience rooted in collaboration and innovation. We want our programs to inspire excellence in a project-oriented learning environment designed to unleash the imagination and bring creative ideas to fruition under the mentorship of industry professionals. At the crossroads of art and commerce, we wish to train our students to think like entrepreneurs. We challenge them to embrace the ever changing technological landscape that shapes the future of entertainment. We ask them to think critically, solve problems, and deliver their ideas to the world with integrity using available social and digital platforms. We rejoice in freedom of thought while nurturing the confidence required in expressing it.
The Studio School Curriculum
We asked industry leaders, cultural thought leaders and award-winning artists what classes they wish had been offered in school and that became the core of our program. There are no textbook answers in an era driven by the power of transformative ideas. Studio School tosses out rigid top-down academic structures and reinvents school from the bottom-up with cross-disciplinary collaboration, innovation and entrepreneurship as its core DNA. We take education out of academia and embed it in dynamic, future-focused industries, passing the torch directly to the next generation of thinkers, artists, engineers, entrepreneurs and storytellers.
Oscar-winning studio leadership, industry experts and distinguished educators from across the country have been instrumental in developing the master curriculum. Providing real-world knowledge and industry insights, the Curriculum Collective is the motivating force for Studio School’s course offerings designed to transform the students into creative thought-leaders, business professionals and entrepreneurs.
