Program Overview
Olivet Nazarene University partners with the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) to offer study at the LA Film Studies Center. The center makes a “Hollywood Semester” available to upper-division George Fox students who qualify and are accepted.
The program’s purpose is to enable college students to serve in various aspects of the film industry with professional skill and Christian integrity. Located in Burbank near major production studios, the semester-long program combines seminar courses with internships in various segments of the film industry, providing the opportunity to explore the industry within a Christian context and from a liberal arts perspective.
The LA Film Center program may be of particular interest to students majoring in cinematic arts with a concentration in film studies. Students who complete the semester may then apply for a semester-long internship in their field of interest.
Housing
Students live in one of two beautiful apartment buildings, The Huxley and The Dylan, owned and operated by Essex. These buildings are only a couple of blocks from each other, and feature wonderful amenities, including a pool, a fitness center, rooftop terrace and clubhouse common spaces, a patio/balcony, central air, and in-unit washers/dryers.
Both buildings are very safe, with 24/7 security and access to all elevators, common areas, and residential floors via keypad codes and electronic key fobs. They are also conveniently located near grocery stores, shopping, restaurants, and even urgent care.
