Writing and Producing for TV
In the MFA Writing and Producing for Television program, students are trained to be writer-producers—the showrunners who create and run their own television programs. Our students take classes in a wide variety of genres such as playwriting, video game writing, animation and sketch writing, among others, and work closely with faculty to create polished portfolios to help secure representation. With pitch training, industry events, and access to professional mentors, our students use their third year to launch into jobs. This unique program that teaches writing and producing is designed to prepare students to become television writers and future showrunners.
Alumni include Karen Joseph Adcock ‘18 who has written on Atlanta, How I Met Your Father, Swarm and Yellowjackets. Adcock won a Writers Guild Award in 2023 for her work on The Bear.
