I am an architecture student almost graduating from school. I will obtain an equivalent of a B.Arch.
I am very intersted in Theatre/ Cinema/ Television so i was wondering if there is a Masters degree in the United States where i can use my architectural background to study Set design/Production design and in which schools
Thank you for your help

You might want to look into the schools in Southern California, where the film industry is essentially headquartered. I would look at schools like University of Southern California, UCLA, Woodbury. You might even have the best luck in looking at film schools and finding out which film schools curriculum have a track based on production design and set design. So you might not get a masters of architecture, but rather a masters in film.

Thank you for your annswer, I looked into those schools before and I think that in order to get a masters degree in film i have to have a bachelor in film which isn't my case, but i will look more into it maybe I missed something

I am an undergrad set designer in the University of Texas at Austin Theatre Department (just applied for my M.Arch I). The graduate designers I work with are amazing! You'll end up with an MFA in Scenic Design.
Good Luck!

The University of Illinois Urbana Champaign has a masters program in theater set design and a masters in architecture, both are part of the same college, it has been possible to get a masters in both in three years, folks going this route are very sought after for their mastery of lighting and color theory as well as the basic tenants or architectural design.

Guys, i have a similar question for you guys. I am about to complete my architecture now, and I would like to get into set designing/ art direction. So is my architectural aptitude and my architectural port folio good enough to get into these colleges? Also, will it be a good field for architects to get into?

I applied for NYU Tisch's Design for Stage and Film years ago, but didn't make the cut. Reason? I didn't have a background or any experience in set design (despite that I indicated in my CV I was part of a theatre company as a performer and production assistant). My background was "too architecture" for them. (LOL i e-mailed the director asking why I didn't make the cut just for feedback)
Kind of contradicting when they tell you that they want students coming from or with different backgrounds outside of stage and film. Oh well it was freaking expensive anyway it was passable.
If you're going to apply though for NYU Tisch, and you don't have in your portfolio any works related to set design, they will give you plays to research on for you to make a design of. I did Who Killed Virginia Wolf and an opera (i forgot the title). Best if you present a physical model and a digital model to show your flexibility and technicality. Good luck!

UCLA offers MS in Architecture and Urban Design with concentration in entertainment , which is basically set designing. You can look into that.

Guys, please advise me best graduate schools from these, for Master of Architecture program. I am looking for curriculum which has the strongest program of specialization in sustainability.
M.ARCH (Master of Architecture)
1. University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign - (Has specialization of Building performance in it)
2. University at Buffalo (Has specialization of Ecological practices in it)
3. Arizona State university (Has electives in sustainability subject)
4. University of Arizona (Has electives in sustainability subject)
Considering all aspects.. like excellent job opportunities, landing up in good jobs early, top notch payscale , how good is the university overall, course, curriculum, location and overall ranking?
Which one is first class in all aspects? All in all, which one should I prefer?
Thank you.
