My Bachelor's was a strange experience because it was all remote (COVID) --transferring from the great Los Angeles Valley College. Even though it was "strange," it was pretty good.
On the other hand, the Master's in Screenwriting was just AWFUL.
It was a terrible experience having bad and unprepared professors, all-white faculty with 0 diversity, and the chairman (Mr. Jared Rappaport) was pretty lost; he had no idea what he was doing. The whole body of professors was just terrible --aggressions and lies all over. I had two classes that were a repetition of the same classes I had as an undergraduate --even the same professors.
Also, in my thesis examination, one of the three professors who were supposed to give me feedback didn't read my script. So, I only received two feedbacks out of three.
In summary, I paid for a Master's that honestly taught me pretty much nothing. I learned so much more in the Screenwriting courses I took at Los Angeles Valley College than in the CSUN Master's. And, if you are thinking about "networking..." forget it. The network you can have out of that institution is honestly BS.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND that program. Look for a more serious institution if you want to learn and feel really appreciated. DO NOT take the Master's in Screenwriting at CSUN.
