Master of Fine Arts in Writing for the Screen & Stage

Point Park University's Conservatory of Performing Arts offers Downtown Pittsburgh's first low-residency Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) in writing for the screen and stage, a rigorous and challenging program taught by nationally recognized, award-winning screenwriters and playwrights.

The M.F.A. in screenwriting and playwriting program will immerse you in the art of dramatic writing, which is like no other literary form. Like Pittsburgh's three rivers, the confluence of craft, hard work, and imagination is the source of all successful storytelling in film, theater, television, and the evolving multiplatform storytelling world.
