MFA at the School of Creative Arts
Windsor’s School of Creative Arts has one of the longest-running MFA programs in Canada, founded in 1979. University of Windsor MFA graduates have gone on to establish significant careers as filmmakers, educators, curators, and arts professionals.
Our faculty have established national and international reputations, exhibiting, performing, and screening films regularly in Canada and abroad. Currently, School of Creative Arts faculty members are working on a range of externally funded projects that explore fiction and non-fiction film and multimedia. We encourage applications from artists working in a wide variety of contemporary practices.
The MFA in Film and Media Arts is a two-year course / thesis-based program. The curriculum balances a theoretical framework with practice-based courses that enable the independent production of a short film project with the support of an academic advisor. Graduate students create films and/or multimedia works over the course of their studies, culminating in a thesis film and written support document.
Our award-winning School of Creative Arts film production faculty screen films regularly at Academy award-qualifying festivals across the globe. University of Windsor Film MFA graduates have gone on to rewarding careers in film production and post-production and have accepted positions as full members of IATSE and the Directors Guild of Canada.
