Overview

Our classes in the Cinematic Arts and New Media program from Maharishi International University are project-based and focused on building your portfolio. By choosing the projects, classes, and topics you’re passionate about, you can create exactly the degree you need to pursue the career of your choice.

About the program

Our project-based classes allow you to bring your vision to life and oversee projects from conception to completion.

Our expert faculty will support your creative growth with individualized attention and constructive criticism, pushing you to new creative heights and teaching you how to innovate.

While our degree program is fully available either on-campus or online, we also offer US students the flexibility to develop their own hybrid model (not available for international students).

For example, if an online student would like to spend one semester or more on-campus to take advantage of using all our specialized equipment and facilities, we make that possible!

Or, if an on-campus student needs to study remotely and become an online student for a semester or more, that is also an option. We work with you to develop the best format to fit your needs.
