Students ask us if CineArts University is accredited. It’s important to understand that we’re a non-accredited, private learning environment here at CineArts University. Since we are starting fresh, We don’t have accreditation yet, But we are working on it and it takes years. While we remain without accreditation, We will keep our cost of enrollment as low as possible. We’re passionate about remaining accessible to independent filmmakers interested in learning the technical, artistic, and theoretical elements of filmmaking without going into debt. Educational debt is something that most students worldwide know all too well, having attended traditional, accredited film schools firsthand. Accredited schools charge tens of thousands of dollars for enrollment in their programs. There are obvious advantages to going this route, but there are also some pitfalls. To be a filmmaker doesn’t require a degree. In fact, many of the best and most respected filmmakers got their training simply by completing their film projects and learning as they went along! We’ve designed CineArts University for these people: independent filmmakers eager to add production value and narrative integrity to their work without spending obscene amounts of money, either because they don’t want or can’t afford to. Consequently, our approach strives to make learning accessible to everyone around the world. You still will be working through an intensive curriculum and diving deep into a wealth of supplemental materials.
